# A Complete Brain Simulation Could Do Everything by Henry Markram > "If we build this brain right, it will do everything." > **— Henry Markram**, *2009-era discussion of what a complete brain simulation could reveal* ## Sources and Context - **Exact original source passage:** “If we build this brain right, it will do everything,” Markram says. The interviewer then asks whether that includes self-consciousness; Markram answers, “When I say everything, I mean everything.” - **Editorial repair and evidence:** The poster uses Markram’s first complete sentence, which supplies the simulated-brain subject without joining his answer to the interviewer’s intervening question. [WIRED, “The Blue Brain”](https://www.wired.com/2009/07/the-blue-brain/), paragraph beginning “Now we just have to scale it up.” No timecode is asserted. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]] - **Article:** [[articles/Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer|Technologies for Consciousness Mapping and Transfer]] - **Article:** [[articles/The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas|The Organic-Synthetic Brain Atlas]] - **Article:** [[articles/The Closed-Loop Gaussian Sensorium Engine|The Closed-Loop Gaussian Sensorium Engine]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Simulation|Simulation]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/Whole Brain Emulation|Whole Brain Emulation]] - [[wiki/Executable Brain Model|Executable Brain Model]] - [[wiki/Functional Digital Twin|Functional Digital Twin]] - [[wiki/World Simulation|World Simulation]] - [[wiki/Simulation Hypothesis|Simulation Hypothesis]] ## Share on Social Media ``` "If we build this brain right, it will do everything." — Henry Markram, 2009-era discussion of what a complete brain simulation could reveal https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-henry-markram-everything-mean ```
