Francis Collins at the NIH in his new blog discussed the Human Connectome Project, an NIH-funded effort to map all the neural connections in the human brain. He noted that whereas before only an isolated region of the brain might have been analyzed, recent advances in computer science, math, imaging, and data visualization can now allow researchers to study the human brain as an entire organ. S. Pelech is astonished that "the Human Connectome Project, has set out to map the brain’s neural connections in their ENTIRETY." He questions whether the project proponents truly appreciate the scale of such as proposal and whether the knowledge gained from such an undertaking is really worth the costs. Read More...
