My Biased Eyes: Challenges Facing Humanity
http://my-biased-eyes.blogspot.com/2008/02/challenges-facing-humanity.html
Interesting/Inspiring stuff I see around. Saturday, February 16, 2008. An interesting news article. Mentions this list of important challenges for the human race. Make solar energy affordable. Provide energy from fusion. Manage the nitrogen cycle. Provide access to clean water. Reverse engineer the brain. It would be so cool even if some of these are accomplished. like reverse engineering the brain. The blue brain project. Is one of the significant efforts in this direction.

Cat Fight Brews Over Cat Brain - IEEE Spectrum

Cat Fight Brews Over Cat Brain. 23 Nov 2009 5:00 GMT. An explanation of the controversy. Last week, IBM announced that they had simulated a brain. With the number of neurons and synapses present in a cat's brain. In February 2008, the National Academy of Engineering issued a grand challenge. But it seems that none of these are more bloody than the one between IBM Almaden's Dharmendra Modha and EPFL's Henry Markram. So it wasn't strictly a surprise when Henry Markram, the lead on the EPFL Blue Brain.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009. IBM, EPFL and ETH to build 3D brain-density processors. Boffins in Switzerland have warned that increasingly powerful computer processors are set to guzzle the entire world electricity supply by the year 2100. They say that only 3D myria-core chips can save the day. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Scientific Revolution: Skin transformed into stem cells through reprogramming!

Neuronion Blog: Brain theory, eBrain architecture & robot intelligence: How does the brain learn to see?
http://neuronion.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-does-brain-learn-to-see.html
Monday, March 01, 2010. How does the brain learn to see? Pawan Sinha details his groundbreaking research into how the brain's visual system develops. Sinha and his team provide free vision-restoring treatment to children born blind, and then study how their brains learn to interpret visual data. The work offers insights into neuroscience, engineering and even autism. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Scientific Revolution: Skin transformed into stem cells through reprogramming!

Constructing an engineering solution to the brain's problem is hard - no one has gotten close to solving it yet- and there is no guarantee that it will produce a "brain", any more than designing a jetliner will produce a "bird". But it has several advantages over traditional biology as an approach." by Bill Softky.

Sunday, October 17, 2010. Blue Brain: A supercomputing project. Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved - soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain's 100,000,000,000,000 synapses.

Neuronion Blog: Brain theory, eBrain architecture & robot intelligence: SyNAPSE: IBM's brain
http://neuronion.blogspot.com/2011/08/synapse-ibms-brain.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. IBM has developed a microprocessor which it claims comes closer than ever to replicating the human brain. The system is capable of "rewiring" its connections as it encounters new information, similar to the way biological synapses work. Researchers believe that that by replicating that feature, the technology could start to learn. Cognitive computers may eventually be used for understanding human behaviour as well as environmental monitoring. Click here for more.
