Project to mimic brain

The Human Brain Project intends to build a software copy of the brain by around 2023. The project, based at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne on the shores of Lake Geneva, aims to compile thousands of fragments of information and research into a unifying model of the brain.

The project leader, Henry Markram, says that around 100 billion neurons are needed to simulate a human brain. Currently, he is able to simulate about 360 000 neurons .
