    Blue Brain Seminar

    This document discusses the concept of a virtual brain known as Blue Brain that aims to simulate the human brain. Blue Brain is being developed by IBM over the next 30 years and will allow humans to upload their intelligence and memories into a computer system. It will function similarly to the natural brain by receiving sensory input, interpreting it, and producing motor outputs. Current research involves using supercomputers and nanobots to carefully scan and map the human brain's neural connections to upload all the data and recreate its functions virtually. The goal is to preserve human intelligence even after death and allow easier recall of memories without effort.

    INTRODUCTION
    Human BrainThe most valuable creation of GOD The intelligence of a person is lost after his/her death Is there any solution for this?

    WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN?


    BLUE BRAINThe worlds first virtual brain Its being developed by IBM
    Within 30 years we will be able to

    scan ourselves into computers

    WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN?


    A machine that functions as our

    Brain We can just call it as Artificial Brain Possible by using Super Computers

    WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN??

    To upload the contents of

    human brain To keep a persons intelligence/skill alive To remember the things without any effort

    FUNCTIONING OF HUMAN BRAIN


    Sensory Input :-

    Receiving input such as sound ,image, etc through sensory cell . Interpretation. Interpretation of the received input by the brain by defining states of neurons in the brain. Motor Output. Receiving of electric responses from the brain to perform any action .

    BRAIN SIMUALATION Natural Brain vs Artificial Brain


    INPUT INPUT
    Through the natural Through the silicon

    neurons
    INTERPRETATION

    By different states

    of the neurons in the brain

    chip or artificial neurons INTERPRETATION By a set of bits in the set of register


    OUTPUT OUTPUT Through the natural Through the silicon

    neurons. PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculations

    chip . PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculation and artificial intelligence


    MEMORY MEMORY

    Through permanent Through Secondary

    states of neurons

    memory

    ARTIFICIAL NUERAL NETWORK

    UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN


    The uploading is possible by the use of

    small robots known as the nanobots. These robots are small enough to travel through out our circulatory system. 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.

    RESEARCH WORK
    IBM developing the Blue brain IBM, in partnership with scientists

    at Switzerlands Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausannes(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brains biological systems

    Software & Hardware Requirement


    22.8 TFLOPS peak processing speed.
    8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz (downgraded to handle

    massive parallel processing). 256MB to 512MB memory per processor. Linux and C++ software. 100 kilowatts power consumption. very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and the computer.

    ADVANTAGES
    Intelligence of a person is not lost

    even after his death Things can be remembered easily without much effort Allowing deaf to hear via nerve simulation Making decisions without the presence of the person

    DISADVANTAGES
    We become dependent upon

    the computer Others may use technical knowledge against us. Another fear is found today with respect to human cloning

    We will be able to turn ourselves into computers

    ANY QUERIES
