[FRIAM] 100 billion neurons

[Carlos Gershenson]

Hi all,

About modelling the brain.
OK, suppose you have enough CPU's to model a human brain. The  
question remains: how do you train that brain? I mean, it takes us a  
few years just to start speaking. Moreover, you need a body and an  
environment to develop cognition... even if this virtual brain would  
be controlling a real robot, you really need to have real time  
interaction to be able to deal with OUR environment... so I see this  
still VEEEEERY far...

Best regards,
