SpiNNaker – the newest simulator brain activity. military interested

In «Frontiers in Neuroscience» published an article by a group of scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich Research Journal (Germany). The Center is one of the structures of the European Research Helmholtz Association. The publication states, that the research group Center Jülich has made a breakthrough in the field of computer technology research of the human brain.

SpiNNaker - новейший имитатор мозговой деятельности. Военные заинтересовались

We are talking about the creation of computer technology, which allows you to simulate the activity of a neural network of the brain. Computer experts called European SpiNNaker. the possibility of processing speed already tested, and tests, as noted, inspire additional optimism.

The aim of the scientists is, to significantly deepen the knowledge of, how the brain processes the received signals, both generate their own. One example of the study: as a visual or audible signal, getting in a modified form in the brain, It causes a certain kind of muscle reaction: how the brain sends a signal to the muscles of the hand greeting an acquaintance. It is also planning to use the computer to study failures in the brain: eg, to study the problem of epilepsy and other disorders.

From the work of European scientists:
The human brain consists of 100 billions of interconnected cells. We understand, both individual neurons and their components behave “communicate” together, and – on a larger scale, which areas of the brain are used for sensory perception, action and cognition. Nevertheless, we know little about the translation of neural activity in the behavior, eg, transformation of thinking in muscle movement. Computer software has helped to simulate the exchange of signals between neurons, but even the best software, running on the fastest supercomputers today, can only imitate 1% the human brain.

celebrated, that experts Forschungszentrum Jülich are working on the development of the most appropriate computer architecture, to increase the percentage of understanding of the processes in the human brain. While the problem is, that even supercomputers takes a few minutes, to simulate a momentary brain work. And one of the problems, which in Germany are trying to solve: compare the energy levels, consumption brain and computer. While no computer in terms of low energy consumption parameters to match the human brain is not able to. But some success, as they say in German institute, there is.

SpiNNaker consists of 600 PCB, which include a 500 thousand. microprocessors. Modeling, described in this study, used only six boards – 1% of the total power of the machine. Results of the study will help to improve the software, to achieve a more acceptable parameters of the study of brain activity.

Studied the technology are already interested in the military and aerospace industries – in particular, to study the human brain's response to emergency situations, eg, when confronted with danger. noted, that in such a situation, the work of the human brain is activated so, that no modern computer can not calculate it even tens of minutes of intensive work with the highest energy consumption.
