La simulazione è in realtà un passo importante, ma solo il primo verso la realizzazione del programma di coloro che prevedono la possibilità del mind uploading. Un'organizzazione specifica persegue l'obiettivo della creazione di menti indipendenti dal substrato ("substrate independent minds"): http://www.carboncopies.org/ In questo video potete ascoltare una chiacchierata che ho fatto con il suo fondatore, Randal Koene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9n-tqwHD7o Nel giugno 2010 alla Harvard University ho organizzato una conferenza dove abbiamo parlato di questi temi: H+ Summit http://hplussummit.com/2010/east/ David Orban skype, twitter, linkedin, sl, etc: davidorban On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 9:27 AM, gianluca quaglia <gianlucaquaglia@gmail.com> wrote:
Will we ever… simulate the human brain?
Some scientists say they can build a computer model of the brain within a decade. Others say it is far too complicated and ambitious an idea. Who’s right?
For years, Henry Markram has claimed that he can simulate the human brain in a computer within a decade. On 23 January 2013, the European Commission told him to prove it. His ambitious Human Brain Project (HBP) won one of two ceiling-shattering grants from the EC to the tune of a billion euros, ending a two-year contest against several other grandiose projects. Can he now deliver? Is it even possible to build a computer simulation of the most powerful computer in the world – the 1.4-kg (3 lb) cluster of 86 billion neurons that sits inside our skulls? The very idea has many neuroscientists in an uproar, and the HBP’s substantial budget, awarded at a tumultuous time for research funding, is not helping. The common refrain is that the brain is just too complicated to simulate, and our understanding of it is at too primordial a stage.
