Understanding
the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing
21st century science, second only it seems, to understanding and dealing with
climate change.
The Human Brain Project began in 2012 and
has grown to a multi-nation project that won a Euro competition ensuring funding
and its immediate future.
A representative of the project spoke on Radio
National today about success in the Euro competition and acknowledged that the
only thing more important than grasping the complexity of the human brain was,
understanding and resolving climate change.
However, maybe in understanding the human brain,
the project will be able to unlock insights into why many humans appear unable
to recognize, acknowledge and accept the clear evidence from the world’s
climatologists that climate change is the result of human activities.
