<p>Dec 24, 2014 03:35 PM</p>
<p>
Henry Markram speaks in Seoul on Dec 1 2014...at SDF 2014.</p>
<p>
7 B per year spent on brain resch worldwide.</p>
<p>
we cannot understand what we are generating.</p>
<p>
1 B euros... 100 scientists around Europe.</p>
<p>
bring all info together;</p>
<p>
digital model of human brain and simulate on super computers.</p>
<p>
deliver by 2023.</p>
<p>
build a multiscope...</p>
<p>
all... micro and macro... level of gene and proteins and cells;
and system level...</p>
<p>
see the magic that you saw in Sherlock.</p>
<p>
algos that connect all the data...</p>
<p>
entire struc of brain...</p>
<p>
100B neurons....
1 M km of fibers... runs on 20 watts. to the moon and back twice.</p>
<p>
1000 trillion synapses... smaller than a bacterium.</p>
<p>
10s of millions of proteins in each synapse.</p>
<p>
get hypotheticallly a Sherlock, if all goes right.</p>
<p>
we need super comps... billion billion calcs per sec
200 PBytes of data in memory with IBM;</p>
<p>
how does it func?</p>
<p>
go inside a cell... you a billion proteins in each cell.
10s of M of interactions in each cell...</p>
<p>
begin with the mouse...</p>
<p>
put brain into virtual mouse....</p>
<p>
in virt enviro...</p>
<p>
learn all that mice know how to do...</p>
<p>
step inside a brain....</p>
<p>
how to create perception...
we see w our brains... you are imagining me...it is an imaginarium;</p>
<p>
simulate diseases...
what chains are there; at molec, at cell level...</p>
<p>
gather data from hosps...</p>
<p>
complete map... abt 600 difft brain diseases...</p>
<p>
brain learns... and highly robust... can lose half your brian before someone notices...</p>
<p>
how can virt robots etc learn... implement on neuromorphic processors...
2 kinds:
1) the ARM proc based... attach to robots...
2) other 10K faster than real time...</p>
<p>
will not be one person.. one einstein....</p>
<p>
build software, med know....</p>
<p>
train future doctors and reschers.</p>
<p>
involve the whole public... science museums... future of med and future of comps...
crowd source component.</p>
<p>
2 trillion per year problem (10% of world gdp is reduced by brain disease)...</p>
