If all went well, he said, a hologram would inform attendants in ten years' time of the accomplishment. His optimistic tone was drawn from the fact that the BBP had already managed to mimic parts of the rat brain in their complexity, which means that groundwork for creating a human one is already set. The reason why the team worked so hard for this purpose, the expert said, was the fact that an estimated two billion people around the world suffered from one or more forms of mental im!

Therefore, research into the symptoms, causes and manifestations of such conditions need to be carefully analyzed and understood. “It is not impossible to build a human brain and we can do it in 10 years.
