4. Human brain , the most valuable creation of god.
The knowledge of a brain when the body is
destroyed after the death.
“BLUE BRAIN”- The name of the world’s first
virtual brain.
That means a machine that can function as
human brain.
5. What is Blue Brain ??
The IBM is developing a virtual brain known as
BLUE BRAIN.
Within 30 years, we will be able to scan
ourselves.
The goal is to reverse engineer as the
mammalian brain.
6. Objective of Blue Brain Project
• Create a artificial brain which has the ability to build
models of the healthy and scan the diseased brain.
•It firstly check the feasibility and future prospects
neocortical column and then implemented in the brain.
• Use this model to discover basic principles governing the
structure and function of the brain.
• The basic goal is to improve brain models i.e to develop
brain.
7. What is Virtual Brain ? ?
A machine that can function as brain.
It can think like brain, can take decision based on the past
experiences.
It can response.
It can keep things in memory.
It also has feelings and emotions.

Simulated Brain
Output:
Output:
Through the natural
neurons.
Through the silicon
chip.
Processing:
Processing:
Through arithmetic and
logical calculation.
Through arithmetic and
logical calculation and
artificial intelligence
Memory:
Memory:
Through permanent
states of neurons.
Through secondary
memory
10. Need of Virtual Brain
To upload contents of
the natural brain into it
To keep the intelligence ,
knowledge and skill of any
person forever
To remember things
without any effort
12. 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.
They will be able to provide an interface with
computer.
13. Nano bots are the robots whose components are at or close to
the scale of a nanometer(10−9 meters). The names nanobots ,
nanoids , nanites , nanomachines or nanomites have also been
used to describe these devices currently under research and
development.
14. Memory with a very large storing
capacity.
Processor with a very high processing
power.
A very wide network.
Nanobots
A program to convert electric impulse.
15. Advantages
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.
Can be utilized in the case of "short term
memory".
Remembering things without any effort.
16. 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.
17. 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
over the whole world.
Virtual brain is an artificial brain, which does not actually the natural brain, butcan 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, witha huge amount of storage capacity, processing power and an interface between thehuman brain and this artificial one. Through this interface the data stored in the naturalbrain can be up loaded into the computer. So the brain and the knowledge, intelligenceof anyone can be kept and used for ever, even after the death of the person.
BRAIN SIMULATIONA comparative discussion of Natural Brain and Simulated Brain is given below.NATURAL BRAIN SIMULATED BRAIN1. INPUTIn the nervous system in our body theneurons are responsible for the messagepassing. The body receives the inputby the sensory cells. These sensorycells produces electric impulses which arereceived by the neurons. The neuronstransfer these electric impulses to thebrain.1. INPUTIn a similar way the artificial nervoussystem can be created. The scientisthas already created artificial neurons byreplacing them with the silicon chip. Ithas also been tested that these neuronscan receive the input from the sensorycells. So, the electric impulses fromthe sensory cells can be received throughthese artificial neurons and send to a supercomputer for the interpretation.2. INTERPRETATIONThe electric impulses received by thebrain from the neurons are interpreted inthe brain. The interpretation in the brainis accomplished by the means of certainstates of many neurons.2. INTERPRETATIONThe interpretation of the electric impulsesreceived by the artificial neuron can bedone by means of a set of register. Thedifferent values in these register willrepresent different states of the brain.3. OUTPUTBased on the states of the neurons thebrain sends the electric impulses representingthe responses which are furtherreceived by the sensory cell of our bodyto respond. The sensory cells of whichpart of our body is going to receive that, itdepends upon the state o f the neurons inthe brain at that time.3. OUTPUTSimilarly based on the states of theregister the output signal can be given tothe artificial neurons in the body whichwill be received by the sensory cell.7NATURAL BRAIN SIMULATED BRAIN4. MEMORY.There are certain neurons in our brainwhich represent certain states permanently.When required these state is interpretedby our brain and we can rememberthe past things. To remember thing weforce the neurons to represent certainstates of the brain permanently or forany interesting or serious matter this ishappened implicitly.4. MEMORYIt is not impossible to store the datapermanently by using the secondarymemory. In the similar way the requiredstates of the registers can be stored permanently.And when required these informationcan be retrieved and used.5. PROCESSINGWhen we take decision, think aboutsomething, or make any computation,Logical and arithmetic calculations aredone in our neural circuitry. The pastexperience stored and the current inputreceived are used and the states of certainneurons are changed to give the output.5. PROCESSINGIn a similar way the decision making canbe done by the computer by using somestored states and the received input & byperforming some arithmetic and logicalcalculations.
Today we are developed because of our intelligence. Intelligence is the inbornquality that can not be created. Some people have this quality, so that they can thinkup to such an extent where other can not reach. Human society is always need of suchintelligence and such an intelligent brain to have with. But the intelligence is lost alongwith the body after the death. The virtual brain is a solution to it. The brain and intelligencewill alive even after the death. We often face difficulties in remembering thingssuch as people’s names, their birthdays, and the spellings of words, proper grammar,important dates, history, facts etc... In the busy life every one want to be relaxed. Can’twe use any machine to assist for all these? Virtual brain may be the solution to it. Whatif we upload ourselves into computer, we were simply aware of a computer, or maybe,what if we lived in a computer as a program?
