DESCRIPTION:Stanislas Dehaene\, HBP Subproject Leader for Cognitive Archit
 ectures - Head of INSERM/CEA  Cognitive Neuroimaging Unit.\nHuman Brain P
 roject launch - Science Talk (opened to the public)\nThe Human Brain Proj
 ect will soon have enough computational power to simulate a significant fr
 action of the human brain\, and enough knowledge of human micro-circuitry 
 to mimic a cortical column in great detail. Will this suffice to wire up a
  human brain in silico? A pressing issue concerns the many levels of “me
 soscale” cognitive architecture that need to be understood and simulated
 . Capturing a cognitive function requires the delineation of the brain are
 as involved\, the format in which assemblies of neurons represent informat
 ion\, and the interconnections that allow them to exchange this informatio
 n and converge onto a decision or an outcome. In the spirit of David Hilbe
 rt’s problems (1900)\, which challenged the mathematical community throu
 ghout the 20th century\, I will present a (necessarily subjective) list of
  neuro-cognitive problems that call for a massive empirical and theoretica
 l effort.
