Using computers to model the human brain Date: July 3, 2014 Source: Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology - OIST Summary: The human brain is the most complex computer in existence.

Investigators have created the most bio-realistic and complex computer models of individual brain cells -- in unparalleled quantity. Their research details how these models could one day answer ...

Blue Brain is modeling the behavior of 10,000 highly complex neurons in rats’ neocortical columns (NCC), which are very similar to the NCCs in a human brain. The NCCs run throughout the brain ...

And this is by no means the first computer model of the brain, he points out. “This is an evolutionary process rather than a revolutionary one,” he says. As long ago as 1989, ...

The worldwide brain-computer interface market is projected to grow over the next seven years at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5 percent to reach of USD 3.7 billion in revenue by 2027 ...

The brain is the most complex organ and system know to humans. It helps to create a computer model of one to find out how things work, and why things go wrong.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a technique in which a computer models visual perception by monitoring human brain signals. In a way, it is as if the computer tries to ...

Scientists just activated the world’s biggest “brain”: a supercomputer with a million processing cores and 1,200 interconnected circuit boards that together operate like a human brain. Ten ...

Instead, Rizo-Rey uses Frontera to make a model of the millions of atoms that make up a vesicle, the edge of a brain cell and the key proteins involved in fusion.

A new open-source model of brain metabolism, developed by scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their ...

A virtual version of a fruit fly's visual system could help scientists understand how brain networks process information. The model could also lead to more efficient AI systems.
