Blue brain bringing a virtual brain to lifeIJARIIT
Man is intelligent because of the brain. But the brain, all its knowledge, and power are destroyed after the death of
the man. BLUE BRAIN, The name of the world's first virtual brain that means a machine that functions like a human
brain. It can think. It can take a decision. It can response. It can store things in memory. The research involves studying
slices of living brain tissue using microscopes and patch clamp electrodes. Data is collected about all the many different
neuron types. 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.
In this paper, we concentrate on the application of Blue Brain for "Cracking Neural Code" as well as the use of Blue Brain in
"Human memory loss". The neural code refers to how the human brain builds images using electrical patterns and cracking
the neural code means finding the patterns and meaning in the noisy activity of the cell ensembles. Human memory loss
includes conditions like ‘Alzheimer’ and 'short-term memory loss'.
The document discusses the Blue Brain project, which aims to create a virtual model of the human brain through detailed computer simulation. The Blue Brain project is attempting to simulate the neocortex, the largest part of the human brain, using a supercomputer. Researchers have already developed a simulated model of a small part of the rat brain using 10,000 virtual neurons. The ultimate goal of the project is to build a computer simulation that replicates the entire human brain and helps uncover the mysteries of consciousness.

INTRODUCTION
Human brain, the most valuable creation of God. The man is called
intelligent because of the brain .Today we are developed because we can
think, that other animals can not do .But we loss the knowledge of a brain
when the body is destroyed after the death of man. That knowledge might
have been used for the development of the human society. What happen if
we create a brain and up load the contents of natural brain into it.
“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. No one has ever understood the complexity of human brain. It is
complex than any circuitry in the world. So, question may arise “Is it really
possible to create a human brain?” The answer is “Yes”. Because what ever
man has created today always he has followed the nature. When man does
not have a device called computer, it was a big question for all .But today it
is possible due to the technology. Technology is growing faster than every
thing. IBM is now in research to create a virtual brain. It is called “Blue
brain “.If possible, this would be the first virtual brain of the world.

What is Blue brain?
The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known as the
Blue brain. It would be the world’s first virtual brain. With in 30 years,
we will be able to scan ourselves into the computers. Is this the
beginning of eternal life?
What is Virtual Brain?
We can say Virtual brain is an artificial brain, which does not
actually the natural brain, but can act as the brain .It can think like brain,
take decisions based on the past experience, and response as the natural
brain can. It is possible by using a super computer, with a huge amount
of storage capacity, processing power and an interface between the
human brain and this artificial one .Through this interface the data stored
in the natural brain can be up loaded into the computer .So the brain and
the knowledge, intelligence of anyone can be kept and used for ever,
even after the death of the person.

Why we need virtual brain?
Today we are developed because of our intelligence. Intelligence is
the inborn quality that can not be created .Some people have this
quality ,so that they can think up to such an extent where other can not
reach .Human society is always need of such intelligence and such an
intelligent brain to have with. But the intelligence is lost along with the
body after the death. The virtual brain is a solution to it. The brain and
intelligence will alive even after the death.
We often face difficulties in remembering things such as people's
names, their birthdays, and the spellings of words, proper grammar,
important dates, history facts, and etcetera. In the busy life every one
want to be relaxed .Can not we use any machine to assist for all these?
Virtual brain may be the solution to it. What if we upload ourselves into
computer, we were simply aware of a computer, or maybe, what if we
lived in a computer as a program?
How it is possible?
First, it is helpful to describe the basic manners in which a person
may be uploaded into a computer. Raymond Kurzweil recently provided
an interesting paper on this topic. In it, he describes both invasive and
noninvasive techniques. The most promising is the use of very small
robots, or nanobots. These robots will be small enough to travel
throughout our circulatory
systems. 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 computers that is as close as our mind
can be while we still reside in our biological form. Nanobots could also
carefully scan the structure of our brain, providing a complete readout of
www.seminarsonly.com 5
6. Seminar Report Blue Brain
the connections between each neuron. They would also record the
current state of the brain. This information, when entered into a
computer, could then continue to function as us. All that is required is a
computer with large enough storage space and processing power. Is the
pattern and state of neuron connections in our brain truly all that makes
up our conscious selves? Many people believe firmly those we posses a
soul, while some very technical people believe that quantum forces
contribute to our awareness. But we have to now think technically. Note,
however, that we need not know how the brain actually functions, to
transfer it to a computer. We need only know the media and contents.
The actual mystery of how we achieved consciousness in the first place,
or how we maintain it, is a separate discussion.
Really this concept appears to be very difficult and complex
to us. For this we have to first know how the human brain actually
works.

How the natural brain works?
The human ability to feel, interpret and even see is controlled, in
computer like calculations, by the magical nervous system. Yes, the
nervous system is quite like magic because we can't see it, but its
working through electric impulses through your body.
One of the worlds most "intricately organized" electron mechanisms is
the nervous system. Not even engineers have come close to making
circuit boards and computers as delicate and precise as the nervous
system. To understand this system, one has to know the three simple
functions that it puts into action: sensory input, integration, motor output.
Sensory input:
When our eyes see something or our hands touch a warm surface, the
sensory cells, also known as Neurons, send a message straight to your
brain. This action of getting information from your surrounding
environment is called sensory input because we are putting things in
your brain by way of your senses.
Integration:
Integration is best known as the interpretation of things we have felt,
tasted, and touched with our sensory cells, also known as neurons, into
responses that the body recognizes. This process is all accomplished in
the brain where many, many neurons work together to understand the
environment.
Motor Output:
www.seminarsonly.com 7
8. Seminar Report Blue Brain
Once our brain has interpreted all that we have learned, either by
touching, tasting, or using any other sense, then our brain sends a
message through neurons to effecter cells, muscle or gland cells, which
actually work to perform our requests and act upon our environment.
The word motor output is easily remembered if one should think that our
putting something out into the environment through the use of a motor,
like a muscle which does the work for our body.
How we see, hear, feel, smell, and take decision:
Nose
Once the smell of food has reached your nose, which is lined with hairs,
it travels to an olfactory bulb, a set of sensory nerves. The nerve
impulses travel through the olfactory tract, around, in a circular way, the
thalamus, and finally to the smell sensory cortex of our brain, located
between our eye and ear, where it is interpreted to be understood and
memorized by the body.
Eye
Seeing is one of the most pleasing senses of the nervous system. This
cherished action primarily conducted by the lens, which magnifies a seen
image, vitreous disc, which bends and rotates an image against the retina,
which translates the image and light by a set of cells. The retina is at the
back of the eye ball where rods and cones structure along with other cells
and tissues covert the image into nerve impulses which are transmitted
along the optic nerve to the brain where it is kept for memory.
Tongue
A set of microscopic buds on the tongue divide everything we eat and
drink into four kinds of taste: bitter, sour, salty, and sweet. These buds
have taste pores, which convert the taste into a nerve impulse and send
the impulse to the brain by a sensory nerve fiber. Upon receiving the
message, our brain classifies the different kinds of taste. This is how we
can refer the taste of one kind of food to another.

Ear
Once the sound or sound wave has entered the drum, it goes to a large
structure called the cochlea. In this snail like structure, the sound waves
are divided into pitches. The vibrations of the pitches in the cochlea are
measured by the Corti. This organ transmits the vibration information to
a nerve, which sends it to the brain for interpretation and memory.

According to the new scientist Magazine report Rodrigo Laje and
Gabriel Mindlin of the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina have
devised a computer model of a region of the brain called the RA nucleus
which controls muscles in the lungs and vocal folds.
The model brain can accurately echo the song of a South
American sparrow. The bird sing by forcing air from their lungs past
folds of tissue in the voice box. The electric impulses from the brain that
force the lungs had been recorded and when the equivalent impulses
were passed to the computer model of the lungs of the bird it begins to
sing like the bird.
Mr. Mindlin told the weekly science magazine he was surprised
that simple instructions from the brain change a constant signal into a
complex series of bursts to produce the intricacies of birdsong.
He plans to add more brain power to his model which might reveal how
birds improve their songs and learn them from other birds.
He hopes it might one day be possible to use similar models to map
the neural [brain] circuitry of animals without distressing lab
experiments - just by recording their calls and movements, the magazine
said.
ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATION
Advantages:
www.seminarsonly.com 14
15. Seminar Report Blue Brain
1. We can remember things without any effort.
2. Decision can be made without the presence of a person.
3. Even after the death of a man his intelligence can be used.
4. The activity of different animals can be understood. That means by
interpretation of the electric impulses from the brain of the animals, their
thinking can be understood easily.
5. It would allow the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation, and also
be helpful for many psychological diseases. By down loading the
contents of the brain that was uploaded into the computer, the man can
get rid from the mad ness.
Disadvantages:
www.seminarsonly.com 15
16. Seminar Report Blue Brain
Further, there are many new dangers these technologies will open. We
will be susceptible to new forms of harm.
1. We become dependent upon the computer systems.
2. Others may use technical knowledge against us.
3. Computer viruses will pose an increasingly critical threat.
4. The real threat, however, is the fear that people will have of new
technologies. That fear may culminate in a large resistance. Clear
evidence of this type of fear is found today with respect to human
cloning.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIRMENT

In conclusion, we will be able to transfer ourselves into computers
at some point. Most arguments against this outcome are seemingly easy
to circumvent. They are either simple minded, or simply require further
time for technology to increase. The only serious threats raised are also
overcome as we note the combination of biological and digital
technologies.
