Using its most powerful computer, IBM along with the Swiss-based Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are setting out on a project which will one day map out the entire human brain.
Known inevitably as the Blue Brain Project, researchers from both organisations plan to work together to map out the human neocortex. This area is thought to be the most complex and evolutionarily advanced part of the brain and is only found in mammals and is most developed in human beings. Biologists consider it to be especially involved in such areas as conscious thought, spatial reasoning and sensory perception.

Once the researchers have mapped the cortex, the scientists plan to continue to plot the rest of the brain.
