Researchers at the Jülich Research Centre in Germany are working on a simulation at the scale of the entire human brain.

The German team now believes it can overcome hurdles that stalled previous attempts, such as the decade-old Human Brain ...

The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a schematic and more like living tissue. Instead of treating neurons as ...

The Open Brain Institute launches as a not-for-profit organization to make the 18-million-line software recipe to build and simulate mammalian digital brains developed in the Blue Brain Project openly ...

The Allen Institute for Brain Science and the Blue Brain Project are deepening their collaboration. Today, the US-based Allen Institute is releasing a set of 40 computer models of neurons from the ...

The findings come from the most comprehensive computer model of brain metabolism to date, which incorporates more than 16,800 biochemical interactions between proteins and chemicals across brain cells ...

The concept of uploading an animal brain to a computer has seen some progress, albeit with significant caveats. Scientists have successfully simulated the brain of Caenorhabditis elegans, a 1mm-long ...
