Artificial Brain Ten Years Away

A top British professor presented in a conference his building of replica human brain. Professor Henry Markham told that this it's not impossible and we can do it in 10 years. He is director of the Blue Brain project, which aims to engineer mammals' brains from laboratory data. He has already had success with creating parts of a rat's brain. Markham said that the human brain was an almost frithtening organ. Professor hoped his research would lead to new treatments for mental illnesses. Markham believes that a technology brain reduce the need of experiments on animals. He provided a simple explanation of his work: "It's a bit like going and cataloguing a bit of the rainforest.. But it is a bit more because you have to describe and discover all the rules of communication and connectivity."
