Artificial human brain will be born in the next 10 years

The group of German and Swiss scientists has just built the "Human Brain Model Project," which is expected to create a human brain model in the next 10 years.

According to scientist Henry Markram, of the Swiss Institute of Industry, member of the research team, " the human brain computer model is one of the three major challenges that people face. We need to figure out which factor make us human. "

Currently, scientists have built an artificial cortical unit on the basis of digital processing by computer software tens of thousands of neuron models.

The cortex is the unique texture of mammals. People have a lot of cortical units. Cortical units are related to many complex cognitive functions such as paternity, interplay between social relationships.

The successful construction of a human brain computer model is important to treat a variety of diseases, including Parkinson 's disease , and to help scientists study the creation of intelligent robots and super-class computers.
