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.
