What Are the Different Types of Brain Research?

The artificial brain is reported by the British media on the morning of July 28, 2009. Henry Macram, the scientist of the Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the director of the "Blue Brain Project" announced that artificial functional brains will be realized within 10 years.

At the Global Technology, Entertainment and Design Conference in Oxford, Mark Ram said that his research team has simulated the brain of a mouse and is moving towards developing a synthetic human brain. He said synthetic human brains would be particularly useful for finding treatments for mental illness. About 2 billion people worldwide suffer to some extent from brain damage. "It's not impossible to build the human brain," he said. "We may achieve it in 10 years. If it succeeds, we will

Now, this plan has a "tens of thousands

A team of scientists in Canada said they have developed a functional brain model closest to the real brain. A digital eye owned by a simulated computer running on a supercomputer can be used for visual input, and its mechanical arm can map its response to visual input. This simulated brain is so advanced that it can even pass the basic tests of the IQ test.

Neuroscientists and software engineers at the University of Waterloo in Canada said that this is by far the world's most complex and largest simulation of a human brain model. The brain, called Spaun, is made up of 2.5 million simulated neurons and can perform eight different types of tasks. These tasks range from description to calculation, to question answering and fluid reasoning. During the test, the scientist highlights a series of numbers and letters and asks Spaun to store it. Then the scientist highlights another letter or symbol as an instruction to tell Spaun what to do with its memory. The robotic arm then plots the mission output. The research results are published in the journal Science.

Spaun's brain consists of 2.5 million neurons, which are broken down into a series of simulated cranium subsystems, including the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus, which are connected together by simulated neurons to accurately simulate the circuit layout of a real human brain. This basic concept of simulating the brain is to try to make these subsystems behave like real brains: visual input is processed by the thalamus, the final data is stored in neurons, and then the basal ganglia send task instructions to a portion of the cortex. All these calculations are performed through precise physiological simulations, imitating voltage spikes and neurotransmitters. Spaun even mimics the limitations of the human brain in an effort to store more short-term memory than a small amount. Mechanically, this simulated brain is very simple, but its versatility is amazing. ^[2]
