The apparent complexity of the human mind is not a barrier to
building a 'replica' brain claims Professor Markram. "The brain is of
course extremely complex because it has trillions of synapses,
billions of neurons, millions of proteins, and thousands of genes.
But they are still finite in number. Today's technology is already
highly sophisticated and it allows us to reverse engineer the brain
rapidly." An example of the capability already in place is that
today's robots can do screenings and mappings tens of thousands of
times faster than human scientists and technicians.
