Main information
Can we not Copy the Human Brain in the Computer?
2014
cchbc
This chapter is a comment on Prof. Idan Segev's. The more I try to comment though, the more thoughts spurt forth, and the more comments surge. This being a never-ending subject, commentary leading to further commentary, perforce and unwillingly, I am bound to give this topic short shrift. Of course, I much enjoyed Segev's excellent presentation, though I must play here a critical role, and help you make your own evaluation, in particular about the just presented Human Brain Project (HBP), aiming at the computer simulation of the human brain, and about its requested FET EU funding, to the total tune of one billion euro in ten years, which in that respect concerns us all in Europe. An issue being: Much as it may be an excellent project, is one billion too much? Will it dry out other projects? Will brain science as a consequence become too monotheistic", too one-track minded so to speak?
