The eventual
human brain simulation will take place at the Juelich Supercomputing Center in northern Germany, Curioni said.

It's closer to an immersive film than a fully interactive
simulation, but as Fortune reported when we first checked in on StriVR in 2015, research shows that seeing real
humans in action helps the
brain refine its timing and stay focused.

If it really is mainly a matter of money to build a full
simulation of the
human brain, how much money would it take?
Despite these difficulties, the detailed
simulation of the entire
human brain on a future supercomputer remains the aim of a large - scale scientific project.
Scientists from Juelich also have a leading role here: the Juelich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) is developing exascale computers to perform the complex
simulations in the
Human Brain Project.
Inspired by
human forgetfulness — how our
brains discard unnecessary data to make room for new information — scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory and three universities, conducted a recent study that combined supercomputer
simulation and X-ray characterization of a material that gradually «forgets.»

human brain within ten years, a sound bite that traveled around the world.

simulation and X-ray characterization, Argonne scientists studied a non-living material that, like the
human brain, «forgets» old information to focus on the new.
The new algorithm, described in an open - access paper published in Frontiers in Neuroinformatics, is intended to allow
simulation of the
human brain's 100 billion interconnected neurons on supercomputers.
In terms of
brain simulation, the challenges are even bigger: The world's fourth most powerful supercomputer took 40 minutes to model one second of
brain activity in a simulated network containing 1.73 billion neurons and over a trillion synapses, yet this represents just one per cent of neuronal networks in the
human brain.
Even if a
simulation of the whole
human brain were possible today, there simply is not enough computing power in the world to run it.
