All evidence indicates that the neuron does not reset. The synapses do not reset. They are always different. They’re changing every millisecond. Your brain today is very, very different from what it was when you were 10 years old, and yet you may have profound memories from when you were 10. Henry Markram Read Quote
Drug discovery is terribly expensive, just to find out how one drug could or could not work and all its side effects. Henry Markram Read Quote
A meticulous virtual copy of the human brain would enable basic research on brain cells and circuits or computer-based drug trials. Henry Markram Read Quote
There are few scientists in the world with the resources I have at my disposal. Henry Markram Read Quote
The brain builds a version of the universe and projects this version of the universe like a bubble all around us. So I can say with some certainty, ‘I think therefore I am.’ But I cannot say, ‘You think therefore you are,’ because you are within my perceptual bubble. Henry Markram Read Quote
Everybody agrees that the brain is a remarkable machine. It’s capable of generating an enormous number of phenomena, some of them very obvious and some of them less obvious. But I think that in the end there are going to be some very basic explanations for many things: emotions, awareness, consciousness, attention, perception, recognition. Henry Markram Read Quote
Think of a forest, then imagine taking 10,000 trees and squeezing them together until there is essentially no space between them. That’s what the neocortical column looks like. Henry Markram Read Quote
You stimulate the neo-cortex, it produces a symphony. But it’s not just a symphony of perception. It’s a symphony of your universe. Your reality. Henry Markram Read Quote
