Podcast appearances and mentions of henry markram

EU's største forskningsprojekt nogensinde har forfulgt drømmen om at skabe en virtuel menneskelig hjerne i en supercomputer. Med et budget på 600 millioner Euro, svarende til 4,5 milliarder kroner, var målet at skabe en forståelse for, hvordan hjernen fungerer. Resultatet efter års forskning er imidlertid uklart, og spørgsmålet rejser sig: Har projektet været en succes eller skuffelse? EU støtter omfattende forskning som et led i strategiske satsninger for at positionere sig som førende inden for forskellige områder. Mens grønne teknologier, mikrochips og medicin er velkendte arenaer for international konkurrence, har EU's mest ambitiøse satsning været at genskabe en funktionel menneskelig hjerne i en supercomputer. Forskningsprojektets visionær, Henry Markram, satte en tiårig tidsramme for at skabe den virtuelle hjerne. Trods hans karismatiske tilgang og støtte fra investorer har projektet oplevet interne stridigheder og ledelsesændringer. Trods et budget på 607 millioner Euro og deltagelse af over 500 forskere fra 19 lande har projektet ikke formået at levere den dybtgående forståelse af hjernens funktion, som det oprindeligt sigtede efter. På trods af kritik har "The Human Brain Project" produceret over 3000 videnskabelige artikler og et "google earth atlas" over hjernen, til gavn for forskere og endda hjernekirurger. Dog forbliver spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt projektet har levet op til sin oprindelige målsætning om at afsløre hemmelighederne bag hjernens kompleksitet. Med over 400 millioner Euro i EU-midler rejser det komplekse spørgsmål om, hvad investeringen egentlig har ført til, og om det er værd at glæde sig over vores naturlige, imponerende "regne-maskine" – hjernen.

In making the case for the Human Brain Project back in 2009, neuroscientist Henry Markram noted that 2 billion people are affected by some kind of mental disorder. It was time, he said, to explore fundamental questions about how the brain works. The collaboration that resulted involved hundreds of scientists across several nations. This week marks the end of Europe’s ambitious but also at times controversial initiative. Marketplace’s Lily Jamali spoke with Miryam Naddaf, a reporter for the publication Nature, about what the project’s researchers have accomplished.

In 2010 filmmaker Noah Hutton set out to document the work of visionary, and TED Talk supernova, neuroscientist Henry Markram, as he turns his frustration with his chosen field's vested interest in maintaining a status quo attitude. With time elapsing and millions of dollars on the line, this compelling and fascinating documentary, IN SILICO, explores an audacious 10-year quest to simulate the entire human brain on supercomputers. Along the way, IN SILICO reveals the profound beauty of tiny mistakes and bold predictions — a controversial space where scientific process meets ego, and where the lines between objectivity and ambition blur. Director, producer, writer, cinematographer, editor and composer Noah Hutton (Lapsis, Crude Independence, Deep Time) joins us for an entertaining conversation on the visionary / foolhardy project to map and replicate the most complex organism / data processor in the known universe as well as Hutton's own personal and professional determination to chronicle the jagged trajectory of this groundbreaking enterprise.

Noah Hutton writes, directs, and scores documentary and narrative films. On this episode, we discuss his documentary In Silico. In 2009, Noah watched a TED talk by Henry Markram, in which Henry claimed it would take 10 years to fully simulate a human brain. This claim inspired Noah to chronicle the project, visiting Henry and his team periodically throughout. The result was In Silico, which tells the science, human, and social story of Henry's massively funded projects - the Blue Brain Project and the Human Brain Project.

He then did a brief postdoc at the EPFL and the CHUV until his appointment as a Senior Scientist at the Blue Brain Project in 2014. https://uk.linkedin.com/in/ramaswamysrikanth https://twitter.com/srikipedia Kindly Subscribe to CHANGE- I M POSSIBLE - youtube channel www.youtube.com/ctipodcast

Autistische Menschen erfahren oftmals schon von frühester Kindheit an, dass sie nicht verstanden werden, nicht von ihren Eltern, ihren Geschwistern oder den anderen Kindern. Sich unverstanden fühlen, ist quasi ein Grundgefühl von Autist_innen. Deshalb ist es so wichtig, dass sich autistische Kinder in ihrer Familie verstanden fühlen und sein dürfen, wie sie sind. Das ist eine fundamentale, existenzielle Erfahrung im Aufwachsen eines jeden Menschen. Den autistischen Kindern gestatten zu sein, heißt, sie so zu akzeptieren und anzunehmen, wie sie sind. Sie nicht verändern zu wollen. Genau hinzuhören und zu versuchen, sie zu verstehen. Sie dabei zu unterstützen, ihre ganz eigenen Wege zu gehen. Autistische Kinder und ihre Eltern sprechen verschiedene Sprachen. Autistische Menschen und ihre Umwelt sprechen verschiedene Sprachen. Es fehlen die Sprachkurse, um einander verstehen zu können. Es gibt sie bis heute nicht. Dadurch, dass sich allerdings immer mehr Autist_innen zu Wort melden, wird die jeweils fremde Sprache überhaupt erst wahrgenommen. Das ist ein Anfang. Das Zitat von Henry Markram stammt aus dem Buch von Lorenz Wagner: Der Junge, der zu viel fühlte. Wie ein weltbekannter Hirnforscher und sein Sohn unser Bild von Autisten für immer verändern. München: Europa-Verlag 2018, S. 136. *** www.mit-meinem-ganzen-sein-autistisch.de

Desde hace unos 6 años, cientos de neurocientíficos de todo tipo, junto con matemáticos e informáticos están intentando desmontar mediante ingeniería inversa el cerebro humano, con el fin de poder comprender todo su funcionamiento, neurona a neurona, para poder construir uno desde cero o simularlo por ordenador. Hago un repaso a los tres proyectos más importantes que hay en funcionamiento.Proyecto BRAIN americano y el doctor Gerry Rubin. El Proyecto Cerebro Humano en Europa y Henry Markram como uno de sus destacados, y aquí su charla TED de 2009.

Claude Shannon. “Father of the Information Age.” Inveterate tinkerer. Restless polymath. His work made digital computing possible. Yet he refused to rest on his laurels, always turning his attention to solving the next “problem that interested him most.” Two spiritual descendants, neuroscientists Henry Markram and David Eagleman, are relentlessly focused on uncovering the workings of the brain – perhaps even improving on it. Future Human is a presentation of Nokia Bell Labs, produced by audiation.fm.

Henry Markram has received the biggest personal grant in the history of science. He has a billion euros to build a super computer which will replicate the human brain. He tells A.C.Grayling and an audience at Wellcome Collection how the virtual brain will reveal revolutionise the treatment of mental disorders.

In this episode of Talking Robots we speak with Henry Markram who is the director of the Blue Brain Project, director of the Center for Neuroscience and Technology and co-director of EPFL's Brain Mind Institute in Switzerland. While most roboticists have been working on abstracting the brain, the Blue Brain project has been painting the whole picture of a rat neocortical column (NCC) from the bottom up; starting with the cells, neurons, and finally pulling the connections which generate the jungle of the mind. It seems that modeling our grey matter as a whole might result in emergent features such as consciousness or self representation and provide necessary tools for the study of brain disorders such as Alzheimer's or Autism. Finally, robots embedded with such in-silico replication of the brain might not only be more efficient in communicating, showing emotions and planning, they will also serve as essential testbeds to better understand what's happening in our head.
