The Blue Brain Project by Serge Achildi The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. An effort to create the first computer simulation of the entire human brain‚ right down to the molecular level‚ was launched on June of 2005. The hope is that the virtual brain will help shed light on some aspects of human cognition‚ such as perception‚ memory and perhaps even consciousness. The "Blue Brain" project‚ a
