Human Brain
•Valuable creation of god.
•Intelligent
Blue Brain
•Virtual brain.
•Machine that functions as human
brain

4. • Man can create brain.
• The IBM is now developing a
virtual brain known as the
BLUE BRAIN
4
WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN
• Itwould be theworlds first
virtual brain.
• Within 30 years, we will be
able to scan ourselves into
thecomputers.

6.  A machine thatcan functionas brain
 It can takedecision.
 It canthink.
 It canresponse.
 It can keep things inmemory.
6

7.  To upload contents of the natural brain
into it.
 Tokeep the intelligence, knowledge and
skillof any person for ever.
 Toremember things without any effort.

WHY WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN?

Sensory Input:
Receiving input such as
sound ,image,etc through
sensory cell.
Interpretation:
Interpretation of the
received input by the brain
by defining states of neurons
in the brain.
Motor Output:
Receiving of electric responses from the brain to
perform any action.

 INPUT
Through the natural
neurons
INTERPRETATION
By different states of
neuron in the brain
INPUT
Through the silicon
chip or artificial
neuron.
INTERPRETATION
BY a set of bits in the set of
registers.

12.  OUTPUT
Through thenatural
neurons.
 PROCESSING
Through arithmeticand
logical calculations
 MEMORY
Throughpermanent
states of neurons
 OUTPUT
Through the siliconchip.
 PROCESSING
Through arithmeticand
logical calculation and
artificial intelligence
 MEMORY
Through Secondary
memory

14.  The uploading is possible by the useof small robots known
as thenanobots.
 Theserobotsaresmall enough to travel throughoutour
circulatorysystem.
 Traveling into the spine and brain, they will be able to monitorthe
activityand structureof ourcentral nervous system.
 Theywill beable toprovidean interfacewithcomputer whilewe
still reside inour biological form .

15.  Nanobotscould alsocarefullyscan thestructureof our
brain, providing acompletereadoutof theconnection.
 This information, whenentered intoacomputer,could
then continue to function asus.
 Thus thedatastored in theentire brainwill beuploaded
into thecomputer.

17.  A very good example of utilization of blue brain is
the case "short termmemory".
 Insome movieswe might have noticed thata
person might be having short termmemories.
17

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.
18
 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 beavoided.

20.  The projectwill search for insights into how human
beings think andremember.
 Scientists think that blue brain could also help tocure
the Parkinson'sdisease.
 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.

22.  IBM developing the “Blue brain” .
 IBM, in partnership with scientists atSwitzerland’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

24.  A Supercomputer.
 Memorywith avery largestoring capacity.
 Processorwith avery high processing power.
 A very widenetwork.
 A program toconvert theelectric impulses from the brain
to inputsignal, which is to be received by the computer
and viceversa.
 verypowerful Nanobots toactas the interface between
the natural brain and thecomputer.

ADVANTAGES
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.

26. 26
DISADVANTAGES
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.

27. 27
CONCLUSION
We will be able to transfer ourselves into computer
sometimes.
It will bring both benefits and harm to human society.
Very soon this technology will be highly accepted all
over the world.
