Henry Markram and his team of Europe's Blue Brain Project, the simulation core of
Human Brain Project, claims to have created a digital copy of 0.3 mm^3 smidgen of rodent somatosensory cortex, using supercomputers. One of the most detailed Brain model yet, a great progress towards creating full simulation of Brain function. A full simulation of Brain function means we will be knowing exactly how the Brain does all that it does, which is going to cause groundbreaking innovations, forever changing our lives, for good hopefully.
"The electrical behavior of the virtual brain tissue was simulated on supercomputers and found to match the behavior observed in a number of experiments on the brain,"
the team posted on their project page. As promising as it looks, we are definitely going to need a lot more powerful supercomputers to create the Brain Activity Map of Human Brain or perhaps a Quantum Computer will be needed. Results were published in journal
Cell.

Enthusiastic beginning is very common in every sector when anyone enters into a new world. But it is very hard to keep such enthusiasm for a long time after huddles come out from invited sources. Read this blog and know more about this topic.
