Blue Brain Project

Blue Brain Project


synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level.The aim of the project, founded in 04/05 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Poly in Lausanne, Swit, is to study the brain's architectural and functional principles. The project is headed by the Henry Markram. Blue Gene supercomputer running Michael Hines's NEURON software, the simulation does not consist simply of an artificial neural network

Mind uploading or whole brain emulation (sometimes called mind transfer)
is the hypothetical process of scanning and mapping a biological brain in detail and copying its state into a computer system or another computational device. The computer runs a simulation model so faithful to the original that it will behave in essentially the same way as the original brain, or for all practical purposes, indistinguishably.
