In order to make it simple to understand lets use a comparison to demonstrate what this next advancement will be like. In photography we deal with 2 dimensional pictures. With a 3D laser scanner you can take a 3 dimensional picture of an object. When you watch a movie you watch it in 2D, the next advancement in 3D laser scanners would be comparable to making a movie with a 3D camera. This is extremely difficult to do and takes amazing amounts of technology to achieve.
Recently researchers in California used the super computer Dawn to simulate the cortex function of the brain. The test resulted in achieving results that were about 1/80th that of what the human brain processes. In order to make this next leap in technology test like this and similar studies will be needed to recreate what we see as humans. This is an extremely interesting topic and one that will bring much attention as results are achieved."
