After centuries of research, there’s a great deal we still don’t know about the human brain.
To figure out what’s going on inside your head, the European Union is putting more than $1.6 billion into the Human Brain Project. Neuroscientists across Europe are using big-data systems to compile as much scientific data on the brain as it can find and create computer models that’ll help them find new patterns. To accomplish this, they aim to build a specialized supercomputer capable of replicating the human brain.
