IBM Scientists Create Map Of The Brain’s Network

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '')The network opens the door to the application of large-scale network-theoretic analysis that has been so successful in understanding the Internet, metabolic networks, protein interaction networks, various social networks, and in searching the world-wide web. The network will be an indispensable foundation for clinical, systems, cognitive, and computational neurosciences as well as cognitive computing.”
First, there was the ongoing Blue Brain Project which uses an IBM BlueGene/L supercomputer. This proprietary IBM project is devoted to reverse-engineering the brain and applying principles to computing. They are taking a more mathematical approach.
Expect to see steady progress in this whole area, eventually leading to machine intelligence. It won't be the same as human intelligence but it will absolutely change everything.

Good stuff Carlhole.
I want to see more of this and further evidence that shows that those who propose the rise of a supermind are covering their bases. I have been following the Blue Brain project to a degree.
What I would like to see is more detailed evidence that this advanced form of Reason is contemplated to be neutral and capable of seeing the contours of it's creation from that neutrality. I'm researching that as well but if you come across any such information, post away.
