In brief
The Human Brain Project will systematically collect and analyze data on the brain, derive organizing principles and build brain models with as much biological detail as technically possible. As brain science and medicine advance, the models will evolve to incorporate ever richer data and knowledge. Building such models represents an enormous challenge that will shape the future of supercomputing, and provide the technologies we need to create realistic simulations of life processes. Combined with high-level mathematical theories of brain function, they will make it possible to build a new class of brain-like hardware devices and computer architectures.
