Japanese Supercomputer Achieves 10% of Human Brain CapacityJune 23rd, 2006 It has been estimated (Kurzweil) that our brains can calculate at 10 petaflops per second, based on the number of neurons and the average number of connections per neuron. Riken has developed a supercomputer that it says achieves maximum theoretical performance of 1 petaflops (1,000 teraflops).
Thought-Controlled Voice SynthesizerAugust 11th, 2005 A voice synthesiser powered by thought alone could one day enable severely disabled patients to converse more instinctively. At least, so thinks Philip Kennedy of Georgia, US, who is developing a brain-activated speech system with backing from the US government's National Institute of Health.
