A Step Closer to the Singularity

Ray Kurzweil’s prediction of the melding of the computational speed of computers with the awesome software of the human brain is one step closer. The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to reverse engineer the brain with the goal of “creating a physiological simulation for biomedical applications.”

At the European Future Technologies meeting in Prague they announced a “detailed simulation of a small region of a brain built molecule by molecule has been constructed and has recreated experimental results from real brains.”
