New Computer Chip is modeled after the human brain

IBM has announced a new computer-chip design that the human brain's ability to understand the environmental mimics, coping with the events surrounding and complex data.
The chip is still in beta does not require the kind of development in the computers over the years. This chip can be anything that has ever happened to be learned and make your own theories about the meaning of these experiences.
These chip-making is a step in a project called Synapse (Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics neuromorphic systems). Chips, which will be released in two prototype represent a new generation of computers, called "cognitive computer" with the ability to think, react not only to the data programmed.
"Imagine the traffic that vision, hearing and smell, and warnings issued to incorporate the accident," says Dharmendra Modha, the project manager for IBM Research. "Combined, the cognitive or thinking that the work servers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones in the machine, the better to interact in a position with their environment."
With this chip, the researchers wanted the dream of a computer system in which we examine the possibility for the water supply of the world in order to realize - comes with a warning if a tsunami - the measurement of temperature, pressure, wave height . Another possibility would expect that if a sensor chip shop owner, signs, smell and temperature display and a warning is issued when a product using dissolved.
"Computers are now more like a calculator," said Modha. "We wanted something more like a ghost, so it's a big break .."
One of the two chips have 262 144 synapses, which are programmed, while the other with 65,536 synapses can learn. Today, with this chip Brain Quest IBM researchers are still a "wall of the brain" because of their size. In the future they will make the chip size of 1 cm ², consisting of 1 million 10 billion neurons and synapses
