CONNECTOME PROJECT. "A secondary objective is to use standardized behavioral tests as much as is feasible, to increase the prospects that findings based on the HCP data can in the future be related to other large-scale projects comparing brain and behavior." https://lnkd.in/ddAE8pR View in LinkedIn

CONNECTOME PROJECT. "On the behavioral front, our objective is to capture a large amount of information about each subject across many behavioral domains, especially for measures that have the potential to covary in interesting ways (across subjects) with brain connectivity and function." https://lnkd.in/ddAE8pR View in LinkedIn

NOVEL COMPILATION. "The Human Connectome Project aims to provide an unparalleled compilation of neural data, an interface to graphically navigate this data and the opportunity to achieve never before realized conclusions about the living human brain." https://lnkd.in/d2iV5Vr View in LinkedIn

"KEN HAYWORTH, President of the Brain Preservation Foundation, dreams of a merger of human and machine consciousness. Randal Koene, of carboncopies.org shares similar thinking." http://carboncopies.org View in LinkedIn

CARBONCOPIES, INC. "A San Francisco inventor has revealed plans for a system to upload his brain to a computer. He hopes to be able to replicate the human brain as a mechanical system. By mapping the brain, reducing its activity to computations, and reproducing those computations in code, Koene argued, humans could live indefinitely, emulated by silicon."When I say emulation, you should think of it, for example, in the same sense as emulating a Macintosh on a PC," a platform-independent code.” (2014). https://lnkd.in/d3gNJBJ View in LinkedIn

BEATING MOORE'S LAW. "In Silicon Valley, Moore's law seems to stand on equal footing with the natural laws codified by Isaac Newton. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore's iconic observation that computing power tends to double — and that its price therefore halves — every 2 years has held true for nearly 50 years with only minor revision." https://lnkd.in/dGcvNvY View in LinkedIn

GENOME ANALOGY. "The price of sequencing an average human genome has plummeted from about US$10 million to a few thousand dollars in just six years." And soon, it will cost $1,000. https://lnkd.in/dGcvNvY View in LinkedIn
