The document discusses Blue Brain, a project aiming to simulate the human brain on a supercomputer. It details how Blue Brain would use nanobots and scanning to map the brain's structure and monitor neural activity, allowing the contents of the human brain to be uploaded virtually. Current research includes IBM's efforts to develop this technology in partnership with the Brain and Mind Institute.

 Introduction
 Blue Brain
 Virtual Brain
 Function of Natural Brain
 Brain Simulation
 Current Research Work

3. Introduction
• Human brain, the most
valuable creation of God.
• The intelligence of a person is
lost after his/her death.
• Is there any solution for this ?

4. Blue Brain
• First virtual Brain.
• Its aim is to upload a
human brain into a
machine.

5. Virtual Brain
• IBM is developing a
virtual brain.
• A machine that can
function as our Brain.
• An Artificial Brain.

6. Need Of Virtual Brain
• To upload the contents
of human brain.
• To remember things
without any effort.
• To keep a person’s
intelligence/skill alive

7. Brain Simulation
Natural Brain vs. Artificial Brain
INPUT
• Through the natural
neurons
INTERPRETATION
• By different states of
the neurons in the brain
INPUT
• Through the silicon chip
or artificial neurons.
INTERPRETATION
• By a set of bits in the
set of register

8. Cont’d
OUTPUT
• Through the natural
neurons.
PROCESSING
• Through arithmetic and
logical calculations
OUTPUT
• Through the silicon
chip.
PROCESSING
• Through arithmetic and
logical calculation and
artificial intelligence

9. Cont’d
MEMORY
• Through permanent
states of neurons
MEMORY
• Through Secondary
memory

10. Uploading Human Brain
• Use of small robots
known as the Nanobots.
• Robots are small enough
to travel through out our
circulatory system.
• Provide an interface with
computer

11. Uploading Human Brain
• Monitor the activity and
structure of our central
nervous system.
• Scan the structure of our
brain.
• Provide an interface with
computer

12. Nanobots

13. Examples
• Utilization of Blue brain in
the case of “Short Term
Memory”.
• When a person gets
older,then he/she starts
forgetting.
• Great Inventory Brains
can be reused for further
inventions and expansion
of technology.

14. Current Research Work
• IBM developing the
“Blue brain” .
• Partnership with EPFL
Brain & Mind Institute.

15. Software & Hardware Requirements
• A Super computer.
• Memory with a very
large storing capacity.
• Processor with a very
high processing
power.
• Very powerful
Nanobots

16. Advantages
• Remembering things
without any efforts.
• Using the intelligence of
the person after the
death.
• For curing different
brain diseases.

17. Limitations
• Dependent upon the
computers.
• Very costly procedure of
regaining the memory
back.
• Computer viruses will
pose an increasingly
critical threat.

18. Conclusion
