A supercomputer capable of mimicking the human brain is set to be activated in 2024. The DeepSouth system, developed by researchers at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, uses spiking neural networks to efficiently emulate large networks of neurons, rivaling the rate of operations in the human brain. This groundbreaking technology aims to unlock the secrets of how our brains handle information with surprising efficiency.

        Fun fact: the banjo’s closest relative is actually a Gambian instrument, as it was originally created and played by African slaves brought to the Caribbean and United States.
