TED Talks Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved - soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they're made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain's 100,000,000,000,000 synapses.

We can only hope that what you propose would come true. How cool would that be if this thing could become like a giant superfast brain.
