"We now have the seeds of a new architecture that can allow us to mine the boundary between the physical and the digital world in an ever more efficient way."
Dharmendra Modha, IBM Research
IBM has created prototype chips that could mimic human brain functionality, which the company said is an "unprecedented" step forward in creating intelligent computers that collect, process, and understand data quickly. The prototype chips incorporate a simplified model of the human brain, which has billions of neurons and trillions of synapses. IBM said the chips are the foundation of what could eventually be a "mammalian-scale system," which will include 10 billion neurons and 100 trillion synapses with the power consumption and size that rivals the human brain.
