IBM’s Synapse supercomputing chip operates very powerfully and quickly like the human brain, but runs on the equivalent power of what would power a hearing aid. The chip, in essence, has massive computing capability for its size and power requirements, and can be applied in a variety of ways (Though IBM hasn’t announced any). Kim Horcher, Tim Frisch, and Xander Jeanneret (King of the Nerds season 2, TheStream.TV’s “Under the Table”) discuss.

Even though it looks like a huge leap, compared to the computing capabilities of the human brain. I think we have a lot more potential with bio-computing where mammalian brains can be hijacked and used for computation. Right now they have done it with the mouse brain.
I’m a friend of Sarah Connor. I was told that she’s here.
bang bang bang…
