A computer chip that emulates the human brain – and might one day replace it
Your brain is home to around 100 billion neurons, all of  which are perpetually establishing and breaking connections, known as  synapses, with other neurons. There are trillions of these connections  throughout your brain helping orchestrate everything from movement, to  learning, to establishing and recalling memories.
But we still don’t understand how all the connections between those  neurons work. Now researchers at MIT and Harvard have created a new  computer chip model that could change that in a big way.
