The document discusses the Blue Brain project, which aims to create a virtual brain through detailed digital reconstruction and simulation of the human brain on supercomputers. The Blue Brain would function similarly to a natural brain by taking inputs, interpreting them, and providing outputs. It could store a person's intelligence, knowledge, and skills after death by uploading their brain contents. While a virtual brain could help treat diseases and enhance memory, it may also introduce disadvantages like privacy risks and high costs. The goals of the Blue Brain project are to better understand brain structure and function through simulation.

Introduction
 Human brain , the most valuable creation of God .The man is called
intelligent because of the brain , but we lose the knowledge of a brain when
body is destroyed after the death .
 “BLUE BRAIN”-The name of the world’s first virtual brain . That means a
machine that can function as human brain.
What is Blue Brain ?
 The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known as the BLUE BRAIN
 It would be the worlds first VIRTUAL BRAIN .Within 30 years , we will
be able to scan ourselves into the computers.
What is Virtual Brain ?
 A machine that can function as brain
 It can take decision .
 It can think.
 It can response.
 It can keep things in memory.
Why We Need Virtual Brain ?
 To upload contents of the natural brain into it.
 To keep the intelligence ,knowledge and skill of any person forever.
 To remember things without any effort.
Functions Of Brain
 Sensory Input :-
• Receiving input such as sound , image , etc. the
sensory cell .

 Interpretation :-
• Interpretation of the received input by the brain by
defining states of the neurons in the brain.

 Motor Output :-
• Receiving of electric responses from the brain to
perform any action.
Natural Brain v/s Simulated Brain
 Natural Brain  Simulated Brain

• INPUT :- Through the natural neurons • INPUT :- Through the silicon chip or
artificial neurons
• INTERPERTATION :- By different states
of the neurons in the brain • INTERPERTATION :- By a set of bits in
the set of registers
• OUTPUT :- Through the natural neurons
• OUTPUT :- Through the silicon chip
• PROCESSING :- Through arithmetic and
logical calculations • PROCESSING :- Through arithmetic and
logical calculation and artificial
• MEMORY :- Through permanent states Intelligence
of neurons
• MEMORY:- Through secondary memory
Uploading Human Brain
 The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the
NANOBOTS .
 These robots are small enough to travel throughout our circulatory
system .
 Travelling into the spine and brain ,they will able to monitor the activity
and structure of our central nervous system .
 They will be able to provide an interface with computer while we still
reside in our biological form.
 NANOBOTS could also carefully scan the structure of our brain ,
providing a complete readout of the connection.

 This information ,when entered into a computer ,could then continue to


function as us.

 Thus the data stored in the entire brain will be uploaded into the
computer.
Example Of Blue Brain
 A very good example of utilization of blue brain is the case “short term
memory”.
 A another situation is that when a person gets older ,then he starts forgetting
or takes a bit more time to recognize to a person ,
 For the above reason we need a BLUE BRAIN . It is simple chip that can be
installed into the human brain for which the short memory and volatile
memory at the old age can be avoided.
Blue Brain Objectives
 The project will search for insights into how human beings think and
remember .
 Scientists think that BLUE BRAIN could also help to cure the
PARKINSON’S disease .
 The brain circuitry is in a complex state of flux ,the brain rewiring itself
every moment of its existence .if the scientists can crack open the secret
of how and why the brain does it ,the knowledge could lead to new
breed of supercomputers.
Hardware And Software Objectives
 A Supercomputer.
 Memory with a very large storing capacity .
 Processor with a very high processing power.
 A very wide network.
 A program to convert the electric impulses from the brain to input signal
,which is to be received by the computer and vice versa .
 Very powerful NANOBOTS to act as the interface between the natural
brain and the computer .
Advantages
 Remembering things without any effort .
 Making decision without the presence of a person .
 Using intelligence of a person after the death .
 Understanding the activities of animals .
 Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation.
Disadvantages
 We become dependent upon the computer .
 Others may use technical knowledge against us .
 Another fear is found with respect to human cloning.
 A very costly procedure of regaining the memory back.
Goals
 The goal of the blue brain project is to do biologically detailed digital re
constructions and simulations of the rodent, and ultimately the human brain.

 The supercomputer-based re constructions and simulations built by the project


offer a radically new approach for understanding the multi-level structure and
function of the brain.

 The projects novel research strategy exploits interdependencies in the


experimental data to obtain dense maps of the brain , without measuring
every detail of its multiple levels of organization .
Conclusion
 We will able to transfer ourselves into computers at some point .
 It will bring both benefits and harm to human society .
 Very soon this technology will be highly accepted all over the world .
