    Presents a roadmap to build a shared brain reference architecture by 2027.

Basic concepts of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and how it differs from narrow AI.
Fundamentals of computational neuroscience, including biological neural networks and synaptic plasticity.
Core principles of cognitive architectures (such as ACT-R or SOAR) and how they model human cognition.
Anatomy of the human brain, specifically the functions of key structures like the neocortex, hippocampus, and basal ganglia.
Advanced neuromorphic computing and hardware implementations designed to run brain-inspired algorithms.
In-depth study of connectomics and the mapping of brain reference architectures to computational models.
Methods for validating and testing whole-brain emulation models against real-world human cognitive performance.
Ethical, philosophical, and safety considerations surrounding the creation of human-level AGI based on brain architectures.
