Basic Quote by Henry Markram
“A meticulous virtual copy of the human brain would enable basic research on brain cells and circuits or computer-based drug trials.”
About This Quote
Source Interview: Human Brain Project, 2015
A detailed digital brain model would allow scientists to study neurons and test drugs in computers instead of labs.
In simple terms: Digital brain lets study cells and test drugs virtually.
