MODELING THE HUMAN BRAIN

● Creating a complete virtual human brain

A QUESTION OF STORAGE

● brainbackups.com● 100,000,000,000 neurons * 10,000

synapses = 1,000,000,000,000,000● 1 terabyte = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes● 1,000,000,000,000,000/1,099,511,627,776

= 909.49 terabytes● 1 terabyte hard drive = ~$90 –> storage for

all human neurons and synapses ~$90 * 909.49 = ~$81,854

STEVE AUSTIN NOW $6,000 MAN

● "Prosthetic limbs have now reached the stage where they offer equivalent or slightly improved functionality to human limbs. Brain-machine interfaces in the form of brain-implants are demonstrating that directly bridging the gap between brain and machine is possible."
