The document discusses the Blue Brain project, which aims to create a virtual human brain through supercomputing. Some key points: - The Blue Brain project is a collaboration between IBM and EPFL to develop the first virtual brain through simulating the human brain on a supercomputer. - The goal is to gather all knowledge about the human brain and build a theoretical framework to reconstruct the brain digitally. - It is believed that within 30 years, nanobots could scan a person's brain and upload the data, essentially digitizing a human mind into a computer. - Challenges include the need for extremely powerful hardware and software to simulate the complex human brain at its estimated 100 trillion synaptic connections

INTRODUCTION Human brain, the most valuable creation of God. The man is called intelligent because of the brain. But we loss the knowledge from a brain when the body is destroyed after the death of man. Is it really possible to create a human brain? 2

BLUE BRAIN YES", The IBM & EPFL is now developing a virtual brain known as the BLUE BRAIN. BLUE BRAIN: It is the name of the worlds first virtual brain. Within 30 years, we will be able to scan ourselves into the computers. 4
VIRTUAL BRAIN What is a Virtual Brain ? Virtual brain is an artificial brain. interface the data stored in the natural brain. Why we need Virtual Brain ? Intelligence , knowledge and skill of a person can be made eternal. How is it possible ? By using a supercomputer, with a huge storage, processing power and interface between human brain and artificial brain. Nanobots. 5
EXAMPLE OF BLUE BRAIN A very good example of utilization of blue brain is the case "short term memory". In some movies we might have noticed that a person might be having short term memories.
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 a simple chip that can be installed into the human brain for which the short term memory and volatile memory at the old age can be avoided.
COMPONENTS OF HUMAN BRAIN The Brain consists of three important sections: 1.Cerebrum : It is responsible for the control of the body. 2.Cerebellum: It is responsible for coordination between the brain and various parts of the body. 3.Medulla Oblongata: It joins the brain with spinal cord. It influences digestive , respiratory and
WORKING 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 .
INPUT Through natural Neurons.By Sensory cells. INTERPRETATION By different states of Neurons in the Brain. OUTPUT Through Natural Neurons. PROCESSING Arithmetic and Logical Calculations. MEMORY Through permanent states of Neurons. INPUT Artificial Neurons with silicon chips .Electric Impulses. INTERPRETATION By a set of bits in the set of register. OUTPUT Through Silicon Chips. PROCESSING Arithmetic and Logical Calculations and Artificial Intelligence. MEMORY Through Secondary memory COMPARISON Natural Brain Simulated 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 our circulatory system. Traveling into the spine and brain, they will be 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.
BLUE BRAIN PROJECT GOALS & OBJECTIVES It is the first attempt to re-engineer the mammalian brain. To gather all knowledge about human brain To build a complete theoretical framework that can orchestrate the reconstruction of brain.
APPLICATIONS We can remember things without any effort. A novel tool for drug discovery for brain disorders. Even after the death of a man his intelligence can be used. The activity of different animals can be understood. It would allow the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation. 14
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT A Super computer. 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.
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. ADVANTAGES
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.
CONCLUSION We will be able to transfer ourselves into computers at some point. It will bring both benefits and harm to human society. Despite the sheer complexity, it is predicted that the project will capable by the year 2023. 18
