On April 2nd President Barack Obama announced that America's government will back a project intended to unlock the mysteries of the human brain. It was, according to the trails, to have been known as the Brain Activity Map. But someone clearly spotted that BAM, as an acronym, is a hostage to fortune and the project is now to be known as the Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies initiative. By what is no doubt a complete coincidence, that spells "BRAIN". No one knows what success will look like. If the researchers get really lucky, they might stumble across the secret of consciousness and thus answer one of the biggest questions of all. Or they might work out, by seeing how large networks of nerve cells process information, how to build computers in different and better ways. They may reveal the details of how brains learn things.
