The Blue Brain Project, initiated by Henry Markram in 2005, aims to reverse engineer the human brain by creating computer simulations at the cellular level, enhancing understanding of brain functions and aiding in treatment for brain diseases. The project studies living brain tissue, collecting data on neuron types to build realistic models, with the goal of simulating a full human brain by 2023. However, challenges include high costs, slower-than-real-time transmission speeds, and ethical concerns regarding artificial intelligence and human cloning.

2. •Introduction.
•Time line of Blue brains.
•Turing test.
•What is Blue Brain ?
•Do you Know your brain ?
•A big challenge.
•Why we need Virtual brains?
•Pros.
•Conclusion.

3. • Being a human we all known as a
most intelligent creature on planet
earth just because of Human Brain.
• The Blue Brain Project is an
attempt to reverse engineer the human
brain and recreate it at the cellular level
inside a computer simulation

5. Used to identify the structure of chemical
compounds. (Dendritic Algorithm).
Used by geologists to identify sites for
drilling or mining. (Blossom algorithm)
The robot musician WABOT-2 can
converse with a person, read a
normal musical score with is eye and
play tunes of average difficulty on an
electronic organ.(de-bowing algorithms)

6. A medical AI system that can identify
of some bacterial causing infection
and to recommend antibiotics, with
the dose adjusted for patient’s body weight.
(RETE algorithm)
Deep blue was a chess- playing
computer by IBM.
First computer program to defeat a
world champion (Garry Kasparov) in
a classical game under tournament
regulations. (Searching algorithm)

7. • A test devised by the English
mathematician Alan M. Turing to
determine whether or not a computer
can be said to think like a human brain.
A human interrogator is isolated and
given the task of distinguishing between
a human and a computer based on their
replies to questions that the interrogator
poses.
After a series of tests are performed, the
interrogator attempts to determine
which subject is human and which is an
artificial intelligence.

8. • The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to
reverse engineer the human brain and recreate
it at the cellular level inside a computer
simulation.
The project was founded in May 2005 by
Henry Markram in Lausanna, Switzerland.

9. •Grey matter (Neocortex 76%) contains most of the brain's neuronal
cell bodies.
•The grey matter includes regions of the brain involved in muscle
control, and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing,
memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control.
•While 20% of all oxygen taken in by the body goes to the brain, 95%
of that goes specifically into the grey matter.

10. • The research involves studying slices of living brain
tissue using microscopes and patch clamp electrodes.
Data is collected about all the many different neuron
types. This data is used to build biologically realistic
models of neurons and networks of neurons in the
cerebral cortex.
• As of August 2012 the largest simulations are of
mesocircuits containing around 100 cortical columns.
Such simulations involve approximately 1 million neurons
and 1 billion synapses.
•But the speed of transmission of Impuls from one
synapse to another is 300x time slower than real time.

12. • Help to stop animal
experimentation forever .
• To keep the intelligence,
knowledge and skills of any person
forever.
• Goals of the project are to gain a complete
understanding of the
brain and to enable better and
faster development of brain
disease treatments.

13. • We become dependents upon
computers.
•Another fear is found with
respect to human cloning.
•A very costly procedure.

14. • Eventually aim of Applying terrific
computer power to the simulation of an
entire brain.
• It is hoped that a full human brain
simulation (86 billion neurons) should
be possible by 2023 provided sufficient
funding is received.
