2. BLUE BRAIN
• Human brain, the most valuable creation of
God. The man is called intelligent because of
the brain.
• Is it really possible to create a human brain?
• “YES", The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known
as the BLUE BRAIN. It means a machine that can
function as human brain.
• Within 30 years, we will be able to scan ourselves into
the computers.

3. VIRTUAL BRAIN
• Virtual brain is an artificial brain. Its functions involve :
 Thinks like a living brain
 Take rational decisions based on the past experience
 Response as natural brain

4. DATA ACQUISITION
It involves taking brain slices,
placing them under a microscope, and measuring the shape and
electrical activity of individual neurons.
 This is how the different types of neuron are studied and catalogued.
One of the methods is to take 300 µm-thick sagittal brain slices from
the Wistar rats (aged 14 to 16 days).
The electrophysiological behaviour of neurons is studied using a 12 patch
clamp instrument

5. SIMULATION
The primary software used by the BBP for neural simulations is a
package called NEURON.
The simulation step involves synthesising virtual cells using the
algorithms that were found to describe real neurons.
 First a network skeleton is built from all the different kinds of
synthesised neurons.
Then the cells are connected together.
Finally the neurons are functionalised and the simulation brought
to life.
The patterns of emergent
behaviour are viewed with
visualisation software.

6. VISUALISATION OF RESULTS :
RTNeuron is the primary application used by the BBP for visualisation of
neural simulations.
RTNeuron is ad-hoc software written in C++ and OpenGL.
RTNeuron takes the output from
Hodgkin-Huxley simulations in
NEURON and renders them in 3D.

7. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
REQUIREMENTS
• A super computer (Blue Gene)
• 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

8. 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 .

9. • 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.

10. • Brain disease treatments
• 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

11. 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.

12. CONCLUSION
• It will bring both benefits and harm to human society .
• Very soon this technology will be highly accepted whole over the
world.
