Monday, June 6th, 2005

/. bryan8m writes “An IBM supercomputer running on 22.8 teraflops of processing power will be involved in an effort to create the first computer simulation of the entire human brain.
From the article: ‘The hope is that the virtual brain will help shed light on some aspects of human cognition, such as perception, memory and perhaps even consciousness.’ It should also help us understand brain malfunctions and ‘observe the electrical code our brains use to represent the world.’”
