Full scan of 1 cubic millimeter of brain tissue took 1.4 petabytes of data, equivalent to 14,000 4K movies — Google's AI experts assist researchers
A recent attempt to fully map a mere cubic millimeter of a human brain took up 1.4 petabytes of storage just in pictures of the specimen. Acollaborative effortbetween Harvard researchers andGoogleAI experts took the deepest dive yet into neural mapping with the recent full imaging and mapping of the brain sample, making puzzling discoveries and utilizing incredible technology. We did the back-of-napkin math on what ramping up this experiment to the entire brain would cost, and the scale is impossibly large — 1....
