[edit] Proposal

To develop this article, it should bring together material from:

1. Mind uploading#Blue Brain Project and computational issues
2. Strong AI#Simulated human brain model

as well as other sources, such as The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil, and perspectives from Neuroscience.

It should address the issues of:

1. How much computing power does the human brain use? (This should cite various predictions, by Hans Moravec, Ray Kurzweil and many others. Maybe a table would be good.)
2. When does Moore's Law predict that this much computing power will be available?
3. What are the prospects of duplicating the function of the nervous system and neural structures? How is it difficult? What are the issues?
4. Historical research approaches such as Pitts & McCullough, etc.
5. Current research approaches, such as Blue Brain, Artificial Intelligence System etc.
6. It should link to philosophy of artificial intelligence#The brain can be simulated and ethics of artificial intelligence.

Someday I may have time to do this. If anyone else has the inclination, feel free. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 00:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC) CharlesGillingham (talk) 18:40, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
