Incessant Wonders , Go On & On !

Thou art His wonderful Creation
Gifted by boundless Imagination
Always obsessed with the notion
Transform this world into better location
Always ready to encounter any situation
No matter what obstruction
You always maintained perfection
Nothing could curtail your motivation
Be it the rest time or vacation
Nothing could distract your attention
Be this alluring world into motion
Or the constant ups & downs of emotion
You have always aborted any deviation
That ever hindered your progression
Infinity has been your destination
The trend will continue for generation
Thou shalt never bereft an occasion
To present a beautiful Innovation.

- Priya


These few lines are composed by me in praise of Mankind.U all shud
know that I m no poet,but this creation of mine might b the
consequence of the gr8 company of poets(rather poetesses)I m being
able to relish these days.

No doubts human Wisdom is something marvellous we all r gifted with.
In this respect let me acquaint u all with something intersting I came
across very recently, one more gr8 resolution has been undertaken by
intellectuals that can prove to b another landmark in the history of
mankind.


IBM decides to simulate Human Brain

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
IBM with a team of Swiss scientists to create the world's first
accurate, computer-based model of the brain, IBM's Blue Brain project
is a two-year venture for scientists from Big Blue and the Ecole
Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne to create a detailed model of the
human brain.
This effort represents the greatest investigation yet into how the
human brain works, achieved by creating a detailed model of the
neocortex using the Blue Gene supercomputer.
The model, which aims to investigate concepts such as thought, memory
and perception, should help researchers to find ways to combat
emotional disorders such as depression and autism, among others.

.

Relatively little is actually known about how the brain works.Using
the digital model
scientists will run computer-based simulations of the brain at the
molecular level, shedding light on internal processes such asthought,
perception and memory. Scientists also hope to understand more about
how and why certain microcircuits in the brain malfunction -- thought
to be the cause of psychiatric disorders such as autism, schizophrenia
and depression.

Astounding, isn't it?? I think that day is not far when brains wud b
sold in the market:)
