My name is Rod Furlan. I am a Quant, Software Engineer, Singularity University Alumnus and Teaching Fellow.
“Henry Markram says the mysteries of the mind can be solved — soon. Mental illness, memory, perception: they’re made of neurons and electric signals, and he plans to find them with a supercomputer that models all the brain’s 100,000,000,000,000 synapses.”
“Researcher Kwabena Boahen is looking for ways to mimic the brain’s supercomputing powers in silicon — because the messy, redundant processes inside our heads actually make for a small, light, superfast computer.”
Never mind the incredible things you would learn or the stellar faculty you would meet at Singularity University – you should apply just for a chance to become part of such a wonderful network of people devoted to the creation of a better future for mankind.
No excuses, apply now.
