They manage to copy the brain of a fly and reproduce it on a computer. https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNQ9AdkyWqTtMMDEdEbShQ6zXoGYKCkAhnTtdb4M5oRqW/image.png https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcM9vDyChXWWfaBhnqxXD5scZn7pnHcZrWiwyZ8HMwmbX/separador%201.png There is a question that science has been trying to answer for decades: Will it one day be possible to completely copy a biological brain and run it inside a computer? like the futuristic The Matrix movie, for a long time that seemed impossible, but now a curious experiment may have taken a small step in that direction. Researchers managed to digitally recreate the entire brain of a fruit fly, that brain has around 125,000 neurons and approximately 50 million synaptic connections and now scientists claim to have managed to place it within a virtual world, simulating that entire system on a computer. Creating a complete digital copy of a biological brain is known as whole-brain emulation. For decades seen as a kind of Holy Grail of arti
