BLUE BRAIN - Can we think in 11 dimensions ?

Blue Brain Project is an interesting research project in the field of neuro-science conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland. The primary objective was that the virtual brain will help us to understand different aspects of human brain such as perception, memory and perhaps even consciousness.

Neuroscientists working in this project, used algebraic topology to study human brain's neural network and what they found was something astonishing. YES, human brain's structure operates in 11 dimensions.

Algebraic topology is like a telescope and microscope at the same time. It can zoom into the complicated web of billions of neural networks to find the hidden structures and find intricate details.

The Blue Brain Project is a Swiss brain research initiative that aims to create a digital reconstruction of rodent and eventually human brains by reverse-engineering mammalian brain circuitry. The project is headed by the founding director Mr.Henry Markram - who also launched the European Human Brain Project. The Blue Brain Project was launched in May 2005.

By Dec 2008, the first artificial cellular neocortical columns of 10,000 cells were built.  By July 2011, a cellular mesocircuit of 100 neocortical columns of with a million cells in total was built.

These in-depth research, can help us understand how certain malfunctions of the brain's microcircuits could cause psychiatric disorders such as autism, schizophrenia or depression.

But by 2017, real breakthrough happened. The neuro-scientists working on the project found that the neural network inside the human brain was connected to one another in 11 dimensions, and that is precisely why human brain can think and build structures in 11 dimensions as well.

This ambitious project is funded by the Swiss government and the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagship grant from the European Commission.

Artificial Intelligence is our future

Article - Sudhir Pai

Like it or hate it. But we humans will have to face Artificial Intelligence by 2030. Are we ready for it?

So - What is Artificial Intelligence?

To different people, Artificial Intelligence (AI) means different things. For some it could be self driving cars or a robot who can be a good friend to us.

Today's computers are far smarter than most of the humans in terms of memory and computational power. But the big question is whether Robots can exactly behave and think like humans in terms of emotions? Yes - says some scientists and futurists.

Deep learning even known as machine learning will allow computers or robots to learn everything by themselves. This is interesting and at times can become even scary.

Some Top Artificial Intelligence Companies :

• Amazon
• Google
• Facebook

Many new players like Apex Technologies and Petuum are doing some exciting projects in Artificial Intelligence domain.

Career Opportunities :

Promising career lies ahead to those who learn Artificial Intelligence and Robotics like :

• Algorithm specialists.
• Artificial Intelligence scientist.
• Robotics Process Automation.
• And more ...

Good movies on Robotics :

• The Terminator.
• Bicentennial Man.
• Short Circuit.
• Robot
• 2.0
• And more ...

Books on Artificial Intelligence :

• Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark.
• How To Create A Mind by Ray Kurzweil.
• Deep Learning by Aaron Courville.
• And more ...

So - What are you waiting for?

Buy a book or google or watch an YouTube Video on above future technologies.

All the best !

Are we living in computer simulated universe controlled by aliens or higher powers ?

Are we living in a computer simulated universe? Imagine, if you, me, dogs, cats, fishes and every person and all those non living things in the cosmos were actually characters in some giant computer game of the size of universe, we would not necessarily know it. The seemingly weird  idea that the universe is a simulation may sounds more like the plot of “The Matrix,” but it is also a legitimate scientific hypothesis where lot of scientists are working and trying to understand. Researchers debated, researched, pondered over the controversial notion again and again.

Such existential-sounding hypotheses often tend to be essentially untestable and may be laughed off, but some researchers think they could find experimental evidence that we are living in a computer game. One idea is that the programmers might cut corners to make the simulation easier to run. “If there is an underlying simulation of the universe that has the problem of finite computational resources, just as we do, then the laws of physics have to be put on a finite set of points in a finite volume,” said Zohreh Davoudi, a physicist at MIT. “Then we go back and see what kind of signatures we find that tell us we started from non-continuous spacetime.”
