Amigos,
Estive lendo ontem a REVISTA REFORMADOR da FEB e achei interessante a materia que fala do BLUE BRAIN que é um projeto global em parceria com a IBM que pretende criar um cerébro com funções quase humanas. Ou seja, um supercomputador estará por trás elaborando as reações, ações dos neuronios cerebrais. Tema interessante para todos os profissionais que também cuidam da saúde mental.
Assim, eis o texto original:
The Blue Brain project is the first comprehensive attempt to reverse-engine
er the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed simulations.
In July 2005, EPFL and IBM announced an exciting new research initiative - a project to create a biologically accurate, functional model of the brain using IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer. Analogous in scope to the Genome Project, the Blue Brain will provide a huge leap in our understanding of brain function and dysfunction and help us explore solutions to intractable problems in mental health and neurological disease.
At the end of 2006, the Blue Brain project had created a model of the basic functional unit of the brain, the neocortical column. At the push of a button, the model could reconstruct biologically accurate neurons based on detailed experimental data, and automatically connect them in a biological manner, a task that involves positioning around 30 million synapses in precise 3D locations.
In November, 2007, the Blue Brain project reached an important milestone and the conclusion of its first Phase, with the announcement of an entirely new data-driven process for creating, validating, and researching the neocortical column.
More detailed information and a glimpse into the future of the Blue Brain Project.

Também me inteirei sobre o projeto lendo O Reformador e fiquei fascinado.Sem sombra de dúvida o projeto Blue Brain é uma das pesquisas mais importantes como foi a pesquisa Biológica sobre o genoma humano e a questão Quântica na atualidade.
Interessante como fatos que pareciam ficção científica há 3 décadas atrás estão se tornando realidade hoje em dia.
