    The document discusses the Blue Brain project, which aims to build a computer model of the human brain. It describes how the Blue Gene supercomputer was used to power the virtual brain simulation. The simulation receives sensory input, integrates the information, and provides motor output, functioning similarly to a natural brain. Nanobots could potentially scan a human brain at the cellular level and upload the brain's data and connections into a computer simulation of the virtual brain. The advantages include using deceased people's intelligence and mapping animal thought. Disadvantages include potential addiction to the technology and security risks if the brain data is hacked.

    Introduction
     Human brain, the most valuable creation of God, the man is called
    intelligent because of the Brain

     Blue Brain is the name of the world’s first virtual brain

     Blue gene supercomputer constructed by IBM(INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS


    MACHINE) was a machine first used by Blue Brain Project and then a term
    Blue Brain was introduced

     Virtual brain can function as brain, can take decision , can respond ,can
    keep things in memory
    Introduction cont.

     Aims to build a full computer model of a


    functioning brain to simulate drug treatments or
    any other brain related problems
     The core of Blue Brain is powered by Artificial
    Intelligence
    Functioning of Human
    Brain

    Sensory input- Receiving input such as


    sound ,image, etc through sensory cell
    Integration- It is like the brain figuring out what it
    gets by looking at the states of its neurons.
    Motor input- Receiving of electric responses from
    the brain to perform any action
    Brain Simulation

    Natural Brain
    Stimulated Brain
     Input - through the natural neuron
    • Input - through silicon chip or artificial
     Interpretation - by a set of bits neuron
    in the set of register
    • Interpretation - by different states of
     Output - through the natural neurons in the brain
    neuron
    • Output - through the silicon chip
     Memory - through permanent
    states of neuron • Memory - through secondary memory

     Processing - through arithmetic • Processing - through arithmetic and


    and logical calculations logical calculation and artificial intelligence

    Rack
    Working of Blue Brain

     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 human circulatory system
    Traveling into the spine and brain, nanobots are
    able to monitor the activity and structure of
    human central nervous system
    Working of Blue Brain
    Nanobots are able to provide an interface with
    computer that is as close as human mind
    Nanobots could also carefully scan the structure
    of human brain, providing a complete readout of
    the connection.
    This information, when entered into a computer,
    could then continue to function as human.
    Thus the data stored in the entire brain will be
    uploaded into the computer.
    Advantage

     Decision can be made without human intervention


     Intelligent brain of a person can be used, even
    after death of a person
     Thought of animals can also be mapped
     Even deaf can hear via direct serve simulation
     Madness of a person can also be removed by
    downloading the content of the brain.
    Disadvantage

     A person can become computer addicted


     Technical knowledge can be hacked by others and
    that can be used against us
     People can explore new technology that can prove
    to be critical threat
    Conclusion

     Blue Brain can be used for the treatment of brain


    diseases
     Blue Brain will search for insights into how human
    beings think and remember
     Blue Brain offers a better understanding of human
    consciousness
     It is a progress towards building thinking
    machines
