2025 Human brain simulations are becoming possible The exponential growth of computer processing power has made it possible to form accurate models of every part of the human brain.** Between 2000 and 2025, there is a millionfold increase in computational power, together with vastly improved scanning resolution and bandwidth. Until recently, only separate regions of the brain had been modelled in any detail – but scientists are now able to combine them into a complete, real-time simulation. Like the Human Genome Project, there were many in the scientific community who doubted the brain could be mapped so quickly. Once again, they failed to account for the exponential (rather than linear) growth of information technology.
