Sci-Fi Reality: Electronic Brain

A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years, a leading scientist has claimed.

Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, has already simulated elements of a rat brain.

He told the TED Global conference in Oxford that a synthetic human brain would be of particular use finding treatments for mental illnesses.

Around two billion people are thought to suffer some kind of brain impairment, he said. - BBC


Yeah, sure. It's for the handicapped. Same with the RFID chips- it's only for medical reasons, honest.
