Brain Chips

All across the word Star Trek fans are cheering, and Brent Spiner is shaking his head.

“Making computers behave like humans has taken another step forward.

IBM on Thursday announced it has created a chip designed to imitate the human brain’s ability to understand its surroundings, act on things that happen around it and make sense of complex data.

Instead of requiring the type of programming that computers have needed for the past half-century, the experimental chip will let a new generation of computers, called “cognitive computers,” learn through their experiences and form their own theories about what those experiences mean.”
