    That’s capturing everything. Ultimately you need only a tiny fraction of that data to emulate the human brain.

    Numenta is working on a brain model to create functional sections of the brain. Their approach is different though. They are trying to understand the components and how they work together and not just aggregating vast amounts of data.

      I am curious how that conclusion was formed as we have only recently discovered many new types of functional brain cells.

      While I am not saying this is the case, that statement sounds like it was based on the “we only use 10% of our brain” myth, so that is why I am trying to get clarification.

        They took imaging scans, I just took a picture of a 1MB memory chip and omg my picture is 4GB in RAW. That RAM the chip was on could take dozens of GB!
