What is blue
brain?

4. Functioning and simulation of blue
brain
 Sensory input
 Interpretation.
 Motor output.
 Inputs and outputs
 Processing
 Memory

5. Software and hardware
requirements
 Using specially designed robots called nanobots.
 A super computer
 Very large storing capacity
 A very wide network
 Linux and c++ software

6. Benefits of blue brain
 Remembering things with any effort.
 Use the intelligence of the person after death.
 It can make decisions entirely of its own.
 Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve
simulation.
 Help to neurological diseases treatments

7. Disadvantages of blue brain
 We become dependent upon the computers.
 Another fear is found with respect to human
cloning.
 A very costly procedure of regaining the memory
back.
 Others may use technical knowledge against us.
