The resulting map took up 1.4 petabytes of disk space, comparable in size to three decades’ worth of satellite images of Earth.
In 2021, Google and Harvard announced they had mapped the equivalent of a 1-millionth section of the human brain. The resulting map took up 1.4 petabytes of disk space, comparable in size to three decades’ worth of satellite images of Earth. Once technology advances and allows us to map larger areas of the human brain, we will better understand and be able to help those with traumatic injuries or neurological disorders and diseases. - Joe McCunney, Scalar Labs
