HumanBrain: The Human Brain The project R&D platform is an international research organization that has raised $1.6 billion in funding to launch the Human Brain Project. This is the largest and most significant human brain reconstruction project to date. Researchers also hope that the dissection of the human brain will help in the treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and dementia.

Human neurons are connected to more than 100 billion. They determine our emotions, our will, and our consciousness. In the next 10 years, scientists from various disciplines will work to decipher these neuronal connections, mapping them hierarchically on a supercomputer.

The research team is a formidable one. In total, more than 200 researchers from 80 institutions worldwide are involved in the project. In terms of scope and ambition, the project is comparable to the Large Hadron Collider project. The project was initiated by the European Commission and is being carried out in Lausanne, Switzerland.

According to the participating scientists, the human brain project will build a new platform for "neural computing" and "neuro-robotic" applications. The scientists will develop computer systems and robots in accordance with the structure and circuitry of the brain. Scientists will reconstruct the human brain piece by piece, and gradually give these cognitive abilities to a supercomputer above.

The European Commission hopes that this project will lead to significant progress in understanding how the human brain works and promote the development of new, more powerful computers that can process the accumulated information about the brain. In addition, the research could also lead to the rise of entirely new computer architectures that mimic the human brain.
