CONCLUSION
3. Human brain, the most valuable creation of God.
The man is called intelligent because of the Brain.
But we loss the knowledge of a brain when the
body is destroyed after the death .
The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to reverse
engineer the human brain and recreate it at the
cellular level inside a computer simulation. The
project was founded in May 2005 by Henry
Markram at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Goals of the project are to gain a complete
understanding of the brain and to enable better and
faster development of brain disease treatments.
4. “BLUE BRAIN”-The name of the world’s first
virtual brain.That means a machine that
can function as human brain.
The IBM is now developing a virtual brain
known as the BLUE BRAIN.
This data is used to build biologically realistic
models of neurons and networks of neurons
in the cerebral cortex.The simulations are
carried out on a Blue Gene supercomputer
built by IBM. Hence the name "Blue Brain".
5. Blue brain " -The name of the world's first virtual
brain. That means a machine that can function as human
brain.
Today scientists are in research to create an artificial brain
that can think, response, take decision, and keep anything in
memory.
The main aim is to upload human brain into machine. So that
man can think, take decision without any effort.
After the death of the body, the virtual brain will act as the
man .So, even after the death of a person we will not loose the
knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories
of that man that can be used for the development of the human
society.
6. A machine that can function as
brain
It can take decision.
It can think.
It can response.
It can keep things in memory.
It also has feelings and emotions.
7. To upload contents of the natural
brain into it.
To keep the intelligence , knowledge
and skill of any person for ever .
To remember things without any
effort .
8. 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 .
9. NATURAL BRAIN VS
INPUT :
Through the natural
neurons.
INTERPRETATION :
By a set of bits in the
set of register
SIMULATED BRAIN
INPUT :
Through the silicon
chip or artificial
neurons.
INTERPRETATION :
By different states of
the neurons in the
brain.
10. OUTPUT :-
Through the natural
neurons.
OUTPUT :-
Through the silicon
chip .
PROCESSING :-
Through arithmetic and
logical calculations.
MEMORY :
Through permanent
states of neurons
PROCESSING :-
Through arithmetic and
logical calculation and
artificial intelligence .
MEMORY :
Through Secondary
memory
BRAIN SIMULATION
NATURAL BRAIN VS SIMULATED BRAIN
11. 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.
12. 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 that is as close as our mind can be
while we still reside in our biological form .
13. A super computer. (Blue Gene/L )
22.8 TFLOPS peak processing speed.
Processor with a very high processing power.
8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz (downgraded to handle
massive parallel processing).
256MB to 512MB memory per processor with a very
large storing capacity..
Linux and C++ software.
100 kilowatts power contains
A very wide network.
Very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface
between the natural brain and the computer
14. HOWTHE BLUE BRAIN PROJECT
WILL WORK…?
The neocortex is the largest and most complex part of the
human brain, and constitutes about 85 per cent of the brain's
total mass.
The neocortex is thought to be responsible for the cognitive
functions of language, learning, memory and complex
thought.
The simulated neurons will be interconnected with rules the
team has worked out about how the brain functions.
This result would develop a simulated model known as
“Bluebrain”.
15. FLASHES OF ACTIVITY
Blue Brain started
producing flashes of
activity that
scientists recognized
from measurements
of natural brain
behavior -- on its
very first day. "It
happened entirely on
its own“.
16. BLUE BRAIN POWER
The human brain has 100 billions nerve cells that
enable us to adapt quickly to an immense array of
stimuli.
Blue brain is a technology that uses “Blue Gene” a
supercomputer capable of processing 228 TFLOPS.
The main aim of blue brain is to build an software
replica or template which could reveal many
exisiting aspects of the brain circuits, memory
capacity, and how memories are lost.
17. It acts as a supercomputer.
Improvements in processing, speed and memory
could make entire human brain simulated.
Things could be remembered without any effort.
It can make decisions entirely of its own.
Making decision without the presence of a
person.
Using intelligence of a person after the death .
Understanding the activities of animals .
18. We become dependent upon the computers.
Another fear is found with respect to human
cloning.
A very costly procedure of regaining the
memory back.
19. Will be able to transfer ourselves into the
computer at some point.
Eventually aim of applying terrific computer
power to the simulation of an entire brain.
Very soon this technology will be highly
accepted whole over the world.
