But, why would scientists try to emulate the human brain? Today, existing computer architectures are subjected to complex data, limiting their processing speed.

And scientists around the world want to mimic its abilities. Both academic and industrial laboratories are working to develop computers that operate more like the human brain.

By that definition, “the brain is not simply like a computer. It is literally a computer.” Michael Graziano, a neuroscientist at Princeton University, echoes that sentiment.
