Introducing the research project to
Introducing the research project to create a virtual model of the human brain.
Henry Markram is the Director of the Human Brain Project, a unique scheme that has been hailed as a "CERN for the brain". With the aid of a €1 billion European research prize, he plans to harness the power of supercomputers and build a virtual replica of the human brain. The numbers are dizzying: reconstructing the human brain will require processing power equivalent to billions of laptop computers.
This ambitious project could revolutionise our understanding of how the brain works, providing an exceptionally powerful tool for our explorations into brain function and giving neuroscientists a better understanding of what goes wrong in neurological disorders.
Henry Markram spoke to a live audience at Wellcome Collection in September 2013.
The event was part of the 'Exchanges at the Frontier' series, which hosts some of the biggest names in world science, and is a partnership between Wellcome Collection and BBC World Service.
The event was recorded and will be broadcast on BBC World Service in February 2014. After the broadcast date, you will be able to listen to the programme on BBC iPlayer. Visit the 'Exchanges at the Frontier' website for more information:
