Mirrors in the Brain On a 1991 hot summer day in Parma‚ Italy‚ a lab monkey awaited its researchers’ return from lunch. The researchers had implanted wires next to its motor cortex‚ in a frontal lobe brain region that enabled the monkey to plan and enact movements. The monitoring device would alert the researchers to activity in that region of the monkey’s brain. When the monkey moved a peanut into its mouth‚ for example‚ the device would buzz. That day‚ as one of the researchers entered the lab

In many ways Baba sees him as the son Amir should have been. Hassan is athletic‚ hard working

The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. The aim of the project‚ founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland‚ is to study the brain’s architectural and functional principles. The project is headed by the founding director Henry Markram and co-directed by Felix Schürmann and Sean Hill. Using a Blue Gene supercomputer running
