The document discusses the concept of the 'Blue Brain', a project led by IBM to create a virtual human brain that mimics human cognition and memories using advanced technology like nanobots. It outlines the potential for uploading human brains to computers, the current research efforts, hardware and software requirements, along with the advantages and disadvantages of such technology. The future perspective indicates that advancements could lead to significant societal impacts, including the possibility of restoring lost cognitive functions and deeper understanding of brain operations.

3. INTRODUCTION

4.  Human brain, the most valuable creation of
God. The man is called intelligent because of the
brain. But we loss 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

6.  Is it really possible to create a human brain?
 “YES", The IBM is now developing a virtual brain
known as the BLUE BRAIN.
 It would be the worlds first virtual brain.
Within 30 years, we will be able to scan ourselves into
the computers.

7. WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN?

8. A machine that can function as brain
It can take decision.
It can think.
It can response.
It can keep things in memory.

9. BRAIN SIMULATION

10. NATURAL BRAIN VS SIMULATED BRAIN
 INPUT
Through the silicon chip or
artificial neurons
 INTERPRETATION
By a set of bits in the set of
register

11.  OUTPUT
Through the natural
neurons.
 PROCESSING
Through arithmetic and
logical calculations
 MEMORY
Through permanent
states of neurons
 OUTPUT
Through the silicon chip.
 PROCESSING
Through arithmetic and
logical calculation and
artificial intelligence
 MEMORY
Through Secondary
memory

12.  Now there is no question how the virtual brain
will work.
 But the question is how the human brain will be
up loaded into it.
 This is also possible due to the fast growing
technology.

13. UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN

14.  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 and structure of our central nervous
system.
 They will be able to provide an interface with computer
while we still reside in our biological form .

15.  Nanobots could also carefully scan the structure of our brain,
providing a complete readout of the connection.
 This information, when entered into a computer, could then
continue to function as us.
 Thus the data stored in the entire brain will be uploaded into
the computer.

16. EXAMPLE OF BLUE BRAIN

17.  A very good example of utilization of blue brain is the
case "short term memory".
 In some movies we might have noticed that a person
might be having short term memories.

18.  A another situation is that when a person gets older, then he
starts forgetting or takes a bit more time to recognize to a
person.
 For the above reason we need a blue brain. It is a simple chip
that can be installed into the human brain for which the
short term memory and volatile memory at the old age can
be avoided.

19. BLUE BRAIN PROJECT
AND RESEARCH WORK

20.  IBM developing the “Blue brain” .
 IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Ecole
Polytechnique Federal De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and
Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s
biological systems.
NEWS: The EPFL Blue Gene was the 8th fastest supercomputer in the world

21.  Since November 2008, IBM received $4.9 million
grant from the pentagon for research into creating
intelligent computer.
 In November 2007 project reported end of the first
phase of project.
 It is likely that we will be able to download the
human brain at sometime around 2050.

22.  The project will search for insights into how
human beings think and remember.
 Scientists think that blue brain could also help to
cure the Parkinson's disease.
 The brain circuitry is in a complex state of flux, the
brain rewiring itself every moment of its existence.
If the scientists can crack open the secret of how
and why the brain does it, the knowledge could
lead to new breed of supercomputers

23. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
REQUIRMENT

24.  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.
 very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the
natural brain and the computer.

25.  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.
ADVANTAGES

26. DISADVANTAGES
 We become dependent upon the computer .
 Others may use technical knowledge against us.
 Computer virus can destroy the data which is
stored.
 A very costly procedure of regaining the memory
back.

27. FUTURE PERSPECTIVE
 Prosthetic devices to restore vision, hearing or
limb control might be the next step.
 Further in the future, the real dreams would be
the realization of the “brain-in-computer and
chip-in-brain” arrangement.
 This is just ’blink of an eye’…there’s lot more to
come…

28. CONCLUSION
 We will be able to transfer ourselves into computers at
some point.
 It will bring both benefits and harm to human society .
 Very soon this technology will be highly accepted whole
over the world.
