Since I was old enough to understand neural networs idea, I imagined and I was sure that one day we will build an artificial brain, at first with less sub-components (brain areas) and then with more if not all that we know about with their functions. At that time the only thing I thought stops us from doing it is the computing power.
In the meantime we grew enormously our computing power AND we invented the deep learning and a whole lot of faster AI learning algos yet we did not built an artificial brain. Or there are projects but I did not hear about it?...
- djokkataja 11y agoIt depends on how you model the neurons/networks in the brain. For example, if you do it this way: http://www.nature.com/news/fragment-of-rat-brain-simulated-in-supercomputer-1.18536 http://www.nature.com/news/fragment-of-rat-brain-simulated-i... then you'll need a lot more computing power, as they do. But they are aiming to eventually build an artificial brain as you describe. If you just want to create an artificial thalamus (probably connected to deep learning-like layers, since those are loosely based on the layers of the cerebral cortex), you can start much smaller: https://books.google.com/books?id=VTduCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA1159&lpg=PA1159&dq=artificial+thalamus&source=bl&ots=ukvWf5265_&sig=bCIV6C49Pb3IOLXY_4DE1Xe1GfI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjnhPjcq9LKAhUBEGMKHeslD2UQ6AEIKzAC#v=onepage&q=artificial%20thalamus&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=VTduCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA1159&lpg...
