The Blue Brain project aims to create the world's first virtual brain through detailed computer simulation. The IBM is developing Blue Brain, a supercomputer that functions similarly to the human brain. Within 30 years, scientists believe we will be able to scan our brains into computers. The goal is to understand how human intelligence works and potentially help cure diseases like Parkinson's. Once complete, Blue Brain could allow storing knowledge, skills and memories even after death for the benefit of humanity.

2.  BLUEBRAIN –The
name of the worlds first
virtual brain . That
means a machine that
can function as human
brain.

3. What is BLUE BRAIN
 The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known
as the BLUEBRAIN.
 It would be the worlds first virtual brain. Within
30years ,we will be able to scan our selves into
the computers.

4. WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN?
 It is an artificial brain ,which does not actually
the natural brain , but can act as the brain
 A machine that can function as brain

5. WHY WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN
 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 .

6. OBJECTIVES
 The objective is to search for insights into
how human beings think and remember.
 Scientists think that blue brain could also
help to cure the Parkinson's disease.
 After the death of a person we will not loose
the knowledge , intelligence , personalities ,
felings and memory of that man can be used
for the development of the human society.

7. 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.
Nanobot
 very powerful Nanobots to act as the
interface between the natural brain and
the computer.

8. RESEARCH WORK
 IBM developing the Blue brain.
 IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerlands Ecole Polytechnique
Federal De Lausannes (EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin
simulating the brains biological systems.
 NEWS: The EPFL Blue Gene was the 8th fastest supercomputer in the
world.

11. NATURAL BRAIN SIMULATED BRAIN

12. ADVANTAGES
 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.

13. 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.

14. CONCLUSION
 We will be able to transfer ourselves into
computers at some point.
 It will bring both benefits and harm to human
society .
 Eventually aim of applying terrific computer
power to the simulation of an entire brain.
 Very soon this technology will be highly
accepted all over the world.
