I.R.R.M., ou les “Introspections Radiophoniques d’un Rat en quête de Mégaphone”.
C’est une série radiophonique et scientifique dans laquelle le personnage principal, un rat de laboratoire, veut apprendre et comprendre le fonctionnement du cerveau humain.
Issu d’une lignée de 123 générations de rat albinos, Jean-Luc, vit au centre intergalactique de la recherche sur le cerveau. Il y mange bien. Sa cage est confortable. Mais quand sa mère décède des suites de manipulations extravagantes d’un jeune stagiaire, Jean-Luc décide de sortir. Depuis ce jour, il se ballade dans les conduits d’aération du centre, aux premières loges des travaux spectaculaires de grands scientifiques à la recherche de son “expérience Mégaphone” qui fera éclater sa vérité.
brain on a chip ?
How does the human brain run itself without any software? Find that out, say European researchers, and a whole new field of neural computing will open up. A prototype “brain on a chip” is already working. “We know that the brain has amazing computational capabilities,” remarks Karlheinz Meier, a physicist at Heidelberg University. “Clearly there is something to learn from biology. I believe that the systems we are going to develop could form part of a new revolution in information technology.”
It’s a strong claim, but Meier is coordinating the EU-supported FACETS project which brings together scientists from 15 institutions in seven countries to do just that. Inspired by research in neuroscience, they are building a ‘neural’ computer that will work just like the brain but on a much smaller scale.
