This post will look at some of those leading international initiatives and projects worldwide. To reach this goal, many European and international facilities and large-scale research projects, such as European research flagship ‘Human Brain Project’ (HBP), are currently contributing to building artificial brain models or low-energy computing systems, with brain-like intelligence, using neuromorphic hardware circuits that allow near large-scale real-time simulations of neural networks. Therefore, the most urgent need is a concerted international effort to integrate this data into a unified, comprehensive picture of the brain as a single multi-level system.
However, the major obstacle that hinders the understanding of the brain is the fragmentation of brain research and the data it produces. These technologies enormously accelerate brain research, opening up roads to new treatments that can prevent or cure brain diseases and to new computing technologies with the potential to revolutionize our healthcare, society, and economy. Supercomputers, on the other hand, make it possible to build and simulate brain models with unprecedented levels of biological detail. Unlike before, neuroinformatics gives us new means to build, share, and analyze detailed brain atlases to identify missing links in our knowledge and predict the value of parameters where experimental data is still missing.
