Welcome everyone to my new article about a new discovery on our human brain structure made by EPFL a Swiss institute.
The Blue Brain Project
EPFL institute's Blue Brain Project is researching ways on building super computers, more accurately they aim to create a super computer based on the neuron network of the human brain, which will enable them to power up the capabilities of their machine many many times. By studying the human brain in order to reconstruct its structure for the computer, they discovered something totally bizarre. Using complex mathematics, called algebraic topology the neuron scientists have created a detailed model of a human neo-cortex. When they did so they discovered that is neurons form into cliques. Moreover when high amounts of the neurons are present the connections between them work as a multi-dimensional geometric object, getting as high as 11 dimensions.
Here is a Simulation of the neuron network
So since i am not a neuron scientist or a computer scientist i can only speculate to where this will discovery will get us.
Speculating Consciousness
Up until now our understanding is that consciousness is an ability, we humans have and we do not really control, being conscious is being able to control your actions but consciousness as a whole is something we train our selves to unlock. The problem by my perspective is that we do not fully understand what it means to be an intelligent creature to begin with, since we have little understanding on intelligence too, which could be counted as a part of consciousness too. Realizing for the first time that our brain is multi-dimensional to the level of 11 separate dimensions which is the max dimensions we speculate for our string theory is by default creating questions on our capabilities, questions on the holographic universe, questions on life and death even questions on the existence of God. I might have understood the situation in a totally wrong way. But if i didn't we might have created for the first time a breakthrough in the research of consciousness.
Speculating on Independent thought
So up until now independent thought is something that humans are supposed to have by default but we speculate it to be an illusion. Science tried to observe human thoughts in the past and the outcome about independence was not clear. So here i am speculating that if our brains work in 11 dimensional spectrum it could seem to as that independent thought is not real or is to be questioned since our understanding is 4 dimensional yet. In the real world the one that we can not see because our senses are not so capable(yet) things might be very different. An 11 dimensional entity should be independent and dependent at the same time. Maybe even the word independent has no actual meaning in 11 dimensions since everything is connected in the universe since everything is energy or so we believe. I am starting to believe that our Brains are by far more connected to the quantum world than we ever believed. For example i was referring to the human brain when i was talking about quantum computing in a previous article but now i am starting to believe that it is more complex than that.
