As of August 2012 the largest simulations are of micro circuits containing around 100 cortical columns such simulations involve approximately 1 million neurons and 1 billion synapses. This is about the same scale as that ofa honey bee brain.. A full human brain simulation (86 billion neurons) should be possible by 2023 provided sufficient funding is received. IBM in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federal De Lausanne’s Brain and Mind institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems. Researchers at Microfot’s Media Presence Lab are developing a “virtual brain”, a PC-based database that holds a record of an individual’s complete life experience. By 2047 , almost all information will be in cyberspace including all knowledge and creative works, said one of the project’s leader,Gorden Bell.
