The Blue Brain Project
Researchers in Switzerland have taken on the task of creating a digital 3-D replica of the brain. It will describe all of the known neurological interations that take place within the cerebral neocortex. A leading reaseacher by the name of Felix Shurmann directs a team of both computer engineers and computational neuroscientist in there goal of accurately displaying the brain funtion. In there work thus far, they have simulated of 10,000 compartmental neurons with over 30 million dynamic synapses. The Blue Brain Project itself is expected to expand to a multinational level by 2008.
