Blue Brain Project (the Documentary)

by Socrates on February 7, 2010 · View Comments

The Blue Brain Project is the first comprehensive attempt to reverse-engineer the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed simulations.

Henry Markram is attempting to reverse engineer an entire human brain, one neuron at a time. This piece is an introduction to director Noah Hutton’s 10-year film-in-the-making that will chronicle the development of The Blue Brain Project, a landmark endeavor in modern neuroscience.

    Thanks a lot Brain2045, I guess you really deserve your name and you are really from the future ;-)

    I will definitely check out the links and, maybe even post them for everyone's benefit either on SingularityWeblog.com or on SingularitySymposium.com.

    By the way, how is my blog doing in 2045?
