The document discusses the concept of a "Blue Brain" or virtual brain that could mimic the functions of the human brain. It would allow uploading of human brain contents through nanobots, preserving knowledge and skills even after death. The Blue Brain is being developed by IBM to simulate brain functions like interpretation and memory through a supercomputer. Current research includes modeling brain regions, but challenges remain around developing the necessary hardware, software, and overcoming fears around human brain uploading.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Human brain, the most valuable creation of God. The man is called
intelligent because of the brain .But we lose the knowledge of a brain
when the body is destroyed after the death of man. That knowledge
might have been used for the development of the human society.
• What happen if we create a brain and upload the contents of natural
brain into it.
• Is it really possible to create a human brain?

4. WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN?
• The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known as the BLUE
BRAIN. It would be the world’s first virtual brain.
• Within 30 years, we will be able to scan ourselves into the
computer which can think, respond, take decision, and keep
anything in memory.
• So, even after the death of a person we will not loose the
knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of
that man which can be used for the development of the human or
society.

5. WHAT IS A VIRTUAL BRAIN?
• Virtual brain is an artificial brain,
which does not actually the natural
brain, but can act as the brain.
• It can think like brain, take
decisions based on the past
experience, and respond as the
natural brain can.

6. WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN?
• To upload contents of the natural brain into it.
• To keep the intelligence , knowledge and skill of any person
for ever .
• To remember things without any effort .
• Certain super brains like that of Steve Jobs or Stephen
Hawking could be interfaced with computer to develop super
computers.

7. FUNCTIONING OF 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 .

NATURAL BRAIN VS BLUE BRAIN

9. UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN
• The uploading is possible by the use of small robots
known as the NANOBOTS .
• These robots are small enough to travel throughout our
circulatory system .
• Will monitor activity of brain by traveling into the
spine and brain.
• They will provide an interface with computer .

10. NANOBOTS

11. SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
• 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

12. CURRENT RESEARCH WORK
• IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Ecole
Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind
Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems.
• Researchers at Microsoft's Media Presence Lab are developing a
"virtual brain," a PC-based database that holds a record of an
individual's complete life experience.
• According to the new scientist Magazine report Rodrigo Laje and
Gabriel Mindlin of the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina have
devised a computer model of a region of the brain called the RA
nucleus which controls muscles in the lungs and vocal folds.

14. ADVANTAGES
• We can remember things without any effort.
• Decision can be made without the presence of a person.
• Even after the death of a man his intelligence can be used.
• The activity of different animals can be understood. That
means by interpretation of the electric impulses from the brain
of the animals, their thinking can be understood easily.
• It would allow the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation,
and also be helpful for many psychological diseases. By down
loading the contents of the brain that was uploaded into the
computer, the man can get rid of the madness.

15. DISADVANTAGES
• We become dependent upon the computer systems.
• Others may use technical knowledge against us.
• Computer viruses will pose an increasingly critical threat.
• The real threat, however, is the fear that people will have
of new technologies. That fear may culminate in a large
resistance. Clear evidence of this type of fear is found
today with respect to human cloning.

16. CONCLUSION
In conclusion,
• We will be able to transfer ourselves into computers at
some point.
• Most arguments against this outcome are seemingly easy
to circumvent. They are either simple minded, or simply
require further time for technology to increase.
• The only serious threats raised are also overcome as we
note the combination of biological and digital
technologies.
