The only uncertainty is financial. It is an extremely expensive project and not all is yet secured.’

    The financial restraints will be insignificant if the replication adds as much value as it is promising.

    Human can make brain, but brain cannot make human.

    Prof. Markram is to be congratulated if he thinks that he knows (almost) all there is to know about the functions and inner workings of the human brain… I am looking forward to seeing the artificial brain he will have constructed fifteen years from now.
