(TECH) Building An Electronic Human Brain

"A former Weizmann Institute scientist seeks to create an electronic human brain with cognitive abilities to provide insight into the most powerful 'computer' in existence.

We already have mechanical and computerized devices that can stand in for human limbs and organs. Now Prof. Henry Markram is working on a computerized version of the human brain, down to its finest synapses. In fact, Markram, who did much of his research at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science, tells ISRAEL21c that if his Blue Brain Project goes well, 'we anticipate that the brain model we develop will have most, if not all, human cognitive capabilities.'"
