“The question is, ‘What is mind?’ We have no definition of it. Cognitive computing is our attempt to engineer the mind by re-engineering the brain,” [Dharmendra Modha, the manager of cognitive computing at IBM’s Almaden Research Center] said. That is, the team will try to build a computer that works the way the brain does, starting from its collection of millions of brain cells, or neurons, and its connections, known as synapses. If the team can succeed, the result may be computers that are much more intelligent than today’s machines. They could be good, for instance, at recognizing visual or audio patterns — the kind of computing the brain can do in the blink of an eye.IBM Quest: Cognitive Computing by Reverse Engineering the Brain
