IBM creates chips that mimic the human brain

IBM manufactures computers for more than 65 years, a silicon microchip today developed that mimic the operation of the brain and prisoposobuvaat in response to new information they receive. This development represents an important step in creating a cognitive computing, which allows computers to perform mental activities such as learning or recognition.

This project is a collaboration between IBM and DARPA, an agency that is part of the U.S. Army to develop new technologies for use in the military. According to IBM, these chips in the future could emuliraat operation of the brain, and hence will be able to recognize it, to feel, to communicate and learn. You can do all the mental things that makes the man, but better. Also these chips can contribute to more powerful and more efficient computers that will occupy much less space.

Istrazhuvachitena IBM and DARPA have completed the first phase of the project, which involves creating a main computer unit which will then be replicated to form the basic elements of the computer will function as the brain. According to the researcher, Darmendra fashion, these chips are beginning a new generation of computers, which will combine superpresmetuvanje, nanotechnology and neuroscience.

Computer scientists have long been fascinated by how the brain fails to process so much information at the same time with very little force, and it all takes place on a variety of related sites. Created chips containing 256 neurons that are connected the same way as neurons in the brain. Of course, the brain contains billions of neurons, researchers and the goal is to reach this figure.
