An anonymous reader writes "According to an article in the BBC, IBM will lead an ambitious DARPA-funded project in "cognitive computing". According to Dharmendra Modha, the lead scientist on the project, "[t]he key idea of cognitive computing is to engineer mind-like intelligent machines by reverse engineering the structure, dynamics, function and behaviour of the brain.": IBM will join five US universities in an ambitious effort to integrate what is known from real biological systems with the results of supercomputer simulations of neurons. The team will then aim to produce for the first time an electronic system that behaves as the simulations do. The longer-term goal is to create a system with the level of complexity of a cat's brain."
