The document discusses the Blue Brain project, which aims to simulate the human brain on a supercomputer. The Blue Brain would function like a human brain by taking inputs, interpreting information, storing memories, and outputting responses. It would help unlock the secrets of brain function and memory, potentially leading to treatments for neurological diseases. The document outlines how nanobots could scan a human brain and upload its structure and connections to a computer simulation of the Blue Brain. This would allow human intelligence and knowledge to potentially be preserved after death.

 Closing Thoughts

3. Introduction
 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 .
 Could a simulated brain start to think, feel
and experience the world as if it were an
organic, human brain?

4.  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.

5. 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.

6. What is Blue Brain?
 A machine that can function
as brain
 It can take decision.
 It can think.
 It can response.
 It can keep things in memory.

7. Why we need Blue 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 .
 In case of short term memory loss cases
and in old age.

8. Objectives Of Blue Brain?
 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.

9. Blue Brain Stimulation
Simulating human brain by
reverse engineering &
combining biological studies
to digital technology using
concept of Artificial Neural
Network (ANN)

10. Natural Brain
 Input
• By neurons
• By sensory cells
 Interpretation
By different set of neurons
in the brain
 Memory
Through permanent states
of neuron
Virtual Brain
 Input
• ANN with silicon chip.
• Electric impulses
 Interpretation
By a set of bits in the set of
register
 Memory
Through secondary memory

11.  Output
Through the natural
neurons
 Processing
Through arithmetic and
logical calculation
 Output
Through the silicon chips
 Processing
Through arithmetic ,logical
calculation and artificial
intelligence

12. 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 .

13.  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.

14. Blue Brain Power
 Blue Brain will reveal many existing aspects of
the brain circuits ,memory capacity , and how
memories are lost.
 The modeling is also able to work out best way to
compensate and repair error circuits .
 The blue brain model can be used to detect and
test treatment strategies for neurological diseases.

15. Application
 Gathering and Testing 100 Years of Data
 Cracking the Neural Code
 A Foundation for Molecular Modeling of Brain
Function
 Understanding Neocortical Information Processing
 A Novel Tool for Drug Discovery for Brain Disorders
 A Global Facility
 A Foundation for Whole Brain Simulations

16. Advantages
 It acts as a supercomputer.
 Improvements in processing, speed and memory
could make entire human brain simulated.
 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.

17. Disadvantages
 We become dependent upon the computer
systems.
 Others may use technical knowledge against
us.
 Computer viruses will pose an increasingly
critical threat.
 Possibilities of human cloning.
 A very costly procedure of regaining the
memory back.

18. Closing Thought
 Very soon this technology will be highly
accepted whole over the world but wisdom
lies in right use.
 “Technology does not create Brain but
Brain creates Technology”
 We will be able to transfer ourselves into
computers at some point & this is just the
beginning……..!
