The brain is re-established after 10 years

To recreate the human brain is probably already over 10 years sure neurobiologist, Professor Henry Merkrem from the Swiss Institute of Brain. "I am absolutely sure that it is possible both technically and biologically. The only clear point is so far the funding - it is extremely expensive project, "- he said. The apparent complexity of the human brain is not a barrier to create an exact copy of the brain, says a professor. "The brain, of course, extremely complex, as it consists of trillions of synapses, neurons, billions, millions of proteins and thousands of genes. However, their number all the same course. Today's technologies are advanced enough, and allow us to quickly reverse engineer the brain "- he said. As an example, the development of advanced technologies include advanced robots able to analyze and transform data ten times faster than scientists-people. Another barrier to the creation of the human brain is the fact that 100 years of neurobiological research have given millions of pieces of information, knowledge, have never coexisted together, never fully investigated. "Creating a model will serve to collect all this knowledge together, it will allow scientists to test any theory about the brain. The biggest challenge here is to understand how the Electric-magnetic-chemical system in our brain converted into our perception of reality. We think that we see the eyes, but in fact most of what we "see", is generated by our brain as a projection. So what do we really look at when we look "outside themselves"? For Professor Merkrema most interesting part of this study was the connection of hundreds of thousands of data that his lab has collected over the past fifteen years, into a coherent whole. He wondered what looks like a brain chip. "When we first put it, she began to reflect a number of interesting emergent properties. But this is still just the beginning, the main thing that we know that the brain may be constructed. As we move forward we will reveal the secrets of the structure of the brain, which could not provide before. Moreover, the brain, it turns out, uses a number of simple rules for solving extremely complex problems, and the isolation of each of these rules is very intriguing. For example, we were surprised to discover the simple principles on which billions of neurons are interconnected. I believe that we understand how the brain is designed and how it works, even before finishing his creation ", - considers the professor. Features that can be gained from the study are enormous, says Professor Merkrem. "The model of the brain will take part in the work of a supercomputer, provide educational and diagnostic services to society. As the industrial revolution in science, we will have more information than can store computers. Therefore, exact copies of the brain that can collect this information, inevitable. Make copies of the brain will also be necessary in order to treat people, because the order of two billion people suffer from various diseases of the brain "- the researchers say.
