STEADY PROGRESS. "Few advances in neuroscience could have as much impact as a precise global description of human brain connectivity (connectome) and its variability. Understanding this connectome in detail will provide insights into fundamental neural processes and intractable neuropsychiatric diseases. Currently, the connectome of the mature adult brain is in progress." https://lnkd.in/deQHzwg View in LinkedIn

MARKRAM’S BLUE BRAIN. “Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, has already simulated elements of a rat brain. “You need one laptop to do all the calculations for one neuron. So you need ten thousand laptops." Instead, he uses an IBM Blue Gene machine with 10,000 processors." https://lnkd.in/dQEQUkh View in LinkedIn

"WIRING DIAGRAMS link lifestyle to brain function. Human Connectome Project finds surprising correlations between brain architecture and behavioural or demographic influences. "You can distinguish people with successful traits and successful lives versus those who are not so successful." https://lnkd.in/deBiskD View in LinkedIn

BLUE BRAIN PROJECT at Swizerland's EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) was launched in 2005 and aims to reverse engineer the mammalian brain from laboratory data.” https://lnkd.in/dQEQUkh View in LinkedIn

"GENETIC ANALYSES will be based on DNA extracted from blood samples acquired at the time of each subject’s visit. Genotyping will be carried out in the final year of the project, for reasons of consistency (using a single platform), and also to obtain the greatest amount of data, given anticipated declines in price per sample."

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
