A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years according to Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project. Finally, the red state populations have hope.He told the TED Global conference in Oxford that a synthetic human brain would be of particular use finding treatments for mental illnesses, and they have already simulated elements of a rat brain. Around two billion people are thought to suffer some kind of brain impairment, he said. I believe the number is higher. It is not impossible to build a human brain and we can do it in 10 years,” he said.
The Blue Brain project was launched in 2005 and aims to reverse engineer the mammalian brain from laboratory data.In particular, his team has focused on the neocortical column – repetitive units of the mammalian brain known as the neocortex. Over the last 15 years, Professor Markram and his team have picked apart the structure of the neocortical column. The project now has a software model of “tens of thousands” of neurons – each one of which is different – which has allowed them to digitally construct an artificial neocortical column. Although each neuron is unique, the team has found the patterns of circuitry in different brains have common patterns. Now wait 10 years...
