Future

  • Brain will most likely reverse-engineered by 2030
  • Further advances are needed in the technology for understanding the brain in the first place
  • More non-invasive methods to study the brain
  • Better ways to study nerve cell signals

Reverse Engineering

  • The process of discovering the technological principles of a device or system through analysis of its structure, function, and operation
  • The key to reverse-engineering the human brain lies in decoding and simulating the cerebral cortex — the seat of cognition

Projects

  • Google team- self-teaching computer to recognize cats
  • Algorithms used in speech recognition
  • Machine vision systems
  • Implants to treat hearing loss and Parkinson’s disease
  • Systems to control artificial limbs

Significance

  • Knowing how and why the brain works and fails
  • Solutions to brain and neurological disorders
  • Computers capable of emulating human intelligence
  • Reproducing intelligence
