I recently did a TED Ed talk on machine learning where I interviewed some of the top innovators in the field Including some of the creators of AlphaGo by Google's DeepMind and Members Of IBM's Watson team. I had a blast doing this talk and hope you enjoy listening to it also!

Originally purely academic research fields, Machine Learning and AI are now definitely mainstream and frequently mentioned in the Tech media (and regular media too).
We’ve also got the explosion of Data Science which encompasses these fields and more. There’s a lot of interesting things going on and a lot of positive as well as negative hype. The terms ML and AI are often used interchangeably and techniques are also often described as being inspired by the brain.
In this talk I will explore the history and evolution of these fields, current progress and the challenges in making artificial brains

The Blue Brain Project is the first attempt to reverse-engineer the brain of
mammalian, so that simulations of the function of brain can be understood. BLUE BRAIN is the
name of the world's first virtual brain, which is a machine that can function as human brain.
Today, scientists are attempting to create an artificial brain that can think, respond, take decision,
and store anything in memory as like humans do. The primary goal of this project is to preserve
the knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of a person that can be used for
the development of the human society.

A large part of the NECDMC curriculum uses case studies to teach best practices in data management for many different science disciplines. This presentation goes through the methodology of a case study, how to develop a case study, and presents an actual example of a research case study.
Blue brain " -The name of the world's first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Today scientists are in research to create an artificial brain that can think, response, take decision, and keep anything in memory. The main aim is to upload human brain into machine. So that man can think, take decision without any effort. After the death of the body, the virtual brain will act as the man .So, even after the death of a person we will not loose the knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of that man that can be used for the development of the human society.
Blue brain enables humans to give new dimensions to science and technology and make enormous development in making the best possible enlightenment to the present scenario.the details can be seen by going though the power point presentation
The Blue Brain, a Swiss national brain initiative, aims to create a digital reconstruction of the brain by reverse-engineering mammalian brain circuitry. The mission of the project, founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, is to use biologically-detailed digital reconstructions and simulations of the mammalian brain (brain simulation) to identify the fundamental principles of brain structure and function in health and disease.
It is said that within 30 years we will be able to scan ourselves into computers.
The Blue Brain, a Swiss national brain initiative, aims to create a digital reconstruction of the brain by reverse engineering mammalian brain circuitry.
Motivations behind the Blue Brain Project are:
Brain disease treatments

Integration of all neuroscientific research results worldwide
Progress towards building thinking machines
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

20. Brain Cells - Neurons
• Neurons consists of three main parts:
• The bulbous part of a neuron is called the soma and contains
the cell nucleus.
• From the soma, one axon ( a “cable-like” projection), often
myelinated, extends, which propagates signals to other cells
(neurons, muscle, etc.). The axon forms synapses at its
terminal part, when it its “contacting” other cells.
• The soma is also covered by dendrites, which in most case
are the “receiving” entity, which are connected to axon
terminals of other neurons.

23. Brain Cells – About Astrocytes
• Memory formation during learning requires
some suppression of retrieval of past memories
to avoid interference.
• Acetylcholine (ACh) is released in the
hippocampus when animals learn, and
disruption of cholinergic signaling impairs
memory formation.
• Astrocytes perform various functions including
releasing neurotransmitter glutamate.
• Astrocytes promote experiential learning by
converting cholinergic input into glutamatergic
activation of inhibitory interneurons in the
hippocampus.

24. Brain Cells - Characteristics
Cell Membrane and Transmembrane Proteins:
• The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid
bilayer
• Transmembrane proteins include different types of
channel proteins that serve as ion channels.
https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/12-4-the-action-potential/
25. Brain Cells - Neurotransmitters
Ligand-Gated Channels. When the ligand, in this case
the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), binds to a
specific location on the extracellular surface of the
channel protein, the pore opens to allow select ions
through. The ions, in this case, are cations of sodium,
calcium, and potassium.
https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/12-4-the-action-potential/
26. Brain Cells - Repolarization
Voltage-Gated Channels. Voltage-gated channels
open when the transmembrane voltage changes
around them. Amino acids in the structure of the
protein are sensitive to charge and cause the pore to
open to the selected ion.
https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/12-4-the-action-potential/
27. Brain Cells – Action Potential
Graph of Action Potential. Plotting voltage measured
across the cell membrane against time, the action
potential begins with depolarization, followed by
repolarization, which goes past the resting potential
into hyperpolarization, and finally the membrane
returns to rest.
https://opentextbc.ca/anatomyandphysiology/chapter/12-4-the-action-potential/
1 msec
28. Brain Cells – Action Potential
• Sodium-based action potentials usually last for
under one millisecond
• Calcium-based action potentials may last for 100
milliseconds or longer.
• Mean conduction velocity 1 m/s to over 100 m/s
