One Million Chips Mimic One Percent Of The Brain: A Robot’s Neural Network

<p>Last month, the Human Brain Project kicked off a 10 year study to understand the brain a bit more. It is considered one of the most advanced neur0science projects in the world.</p><p>As a part of that project, an ICL professor of computer engineering from the School of Computer Science, University of Manchester, Steve Furber, discussed how to apply processor chips that keep our smart phones and other consumer devices, to the brain.</p><p>He's not just another professor speculating about the possibilities, he's the co-inventor of the ARM chip with Sophie Wilson, which powers about 10 billion consumer devices, roughly 35%, worldwide. ARM is a semiconductor company that's shipped more than 20 billion ARM based chips since 1990.</p><p>And, here is where it might start to sound like a scene from the Matrix our brains and computer chips.</p><p><a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferhicks/2013/12/05/one-million-chips-mimic-one-percent-of-the-brain-a-robots-neural-network/">Keep reading...</a></p>
