17. MODELING THE HUMAN BRAIN
● Creating a complete virtual human brain

18. A QUESTION OF STORAGE
● brainbackups.com
● 100,000,000,000 neurons * 10,000
synapses = 1,000,000,000,000,000
● 1 terabyte = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
● 1,000,000,000,000,000/1,099,511,627,776
= 909.49 terabytes
● 1 terabyte hard drive = ~$90 –> storage for
all human neurons and synapses ~$90 *
909.49 = ~$81,854

● "Prosthetic limbs have now reached the
stage where they offer equivalent or
slightly improved functionality to human
limbs. Brain-machine interfaces in the
form of brain-implants are demonstrating
that directly bridging the gap between
brain and machine is possible."
