The Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre , which aims to map 100 human brains in 3D, has been set up at which institution?
- A.IISc Bengaluru
- B.IIT Madras
- C.AIIMS New Delhi
- D.IIT Bombay
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is IIT Madras. The Prime Minister inaugurated the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre there during his visit to Chennai earlier in the month, and he spoke about it in the 139th episode of Mann Ki Baat. The centre has built a brain-imaging platform that produces high-resolution digital three-dimensional pictures of the human brain, and its stated goal is to map 100 human brains in minute detail, described as the first mission of its kind in the world. The computing for it runs on the Param Shakti supercomputer, and the data gathered from the 100 brains is to be released as an open-source resource for researchers. Industry worked with the government to build the centre, and alumni and academia of the IITs joined in to support it. The other options are wrong: the centre is not at IISc Bengaluru, nor at AIIMS New Delhi, nor at IIT Bombay, none of which was named in connection with this brain-mapping mission.
