1. Artificial Brain Artificial Intelligence.......Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, claims that scientists will most likely perfect the artificial human brain in the next decade. Theyve already simulated an artificial rat brain which, incidentally, might explain why the Internet keeps hissing at us and scurrying into the corner. He told the TED Global conference in Oxford that a synthetic human brain would be of particular use finding treatments for mental illnesses.
