Scientists Preparing to Simulate Human Brain on Supercomputer

SMRTR summary

German researchers at Jülich Research Centre plan to simulate the entire human brain using the JUPITER supercomputer, building on 2024's breakthrough mapping of a fruit fly's brain circuitry. The team successfully demonstrated scaling neural networks to match the human cerebral cortex's 20 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections, potentially advancing beyond previous failed attempts like the Human Brain Project.
