swiss  Dr. Henry Markram, Director of the Swiss Federal Institute’s (EPFL) Brain Mind Institute said that the computerised copy of human brain will be developed soon. The Institute partnered with Technopark based solution in India. He further outlined that Blue Brain Project of the institute is going to help treat mental illness  with a super computer.

“Mental illness, memory and perception, which are triggered by neurons and electric signals, will soon be treated with a supercomputer that models all the brain’s 100,000,000,000,000 synapses,” said Dr. Markram, who heads the Blue Brain project. “The mysteries of the mind can be solved… soon,” he added.

The project is going to be started with rat’s brain and eventually it will be extended to human brain. Ultimately, the computerized copy of the brain will be able to think, reason, express will, lay down memories and perhaps even experience love, anger, sadness, pain and joy. PIT solution, India is going to provide support for the project. The company is very excited about the project and think that they will be able to use many talented professionals for the new venture.

The Indian company will provide IT infrastructure and expertise to support various research programmes that the Blue Brain Project is supposed to achieve down the road.  PIT Solutions said the new project is a challenge for the company because the whole world will be watching the progress of the project.
