For decades researchers have tried replicating the top-down, hierarchical model of the human brain to create artificial intelligence in computers, without success.
While Hong Kong was more of a business center and Macau was becoming a resort destination, there were enough similarities to cross reference the data and his team was able to create an analytic left-brain quantitative prioritization model using a right brain intuitive approach to the data.
While associations are known to form based on sight, smell, and other senses -- you may remember last year's baseball game through the taste of a hot dog today, for example -- their computer model shows that the young brain cells also link through time.
After a decade or more, it may even be possible to create a model of the human brain.
The former model, of Burnopfield, suffered severe brain injuries and had no memory of her daughter Maddie.

Just as he did with a previous artificial brain model, Yamazaki plans to release the source code for the system.
Besides, it turns out the human brain may not work on a top-down hierarchical model after all.
Degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's may turn out to be more difficult to model because they involve the failure of more than just brain cells, Markram says.
The model began with just one piece, the center of the brain.
Indeed, the MIT team plans to use this chip to model neural structures such as vision in order to gain a deeper understanding of the brain.

One model gaining attention, which takes a team approach to care management, is the Healthy Aging Brain program, developed at Indiana University Center for Aging Research, in conjunction with the nonprofit research organization Regenstrief Institute.
