A few years ago a project has been made in order to create an accurate computer model of the brain.

A Working Brain Model
That refers to
Mind uploading - brain emulation or mind transfer - hypothetical process of scanning and mapping a biological brain in detail and copying its state into a computer system or another computational device.
