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 thebody is destroyed after the death.

• “BLUE BRAIN”- The name of the world’s firstvirtual brain. That means a machine that canfunction as human brain.

• Is it really possible to create a human brain?

What is BLUE BRAIN?

• “YES", The IBM is now developing a virtual brainknown as the BLUE BRAIN.

• It would be the worlds first virtual brain Within 30years, we will be able to scan ourselves into thecomputers.

• A machine that can function as brain .

• It can take decision.

• It can think.

• It can response.

• It can keep things in memory.

WHY 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 .

FUNCTIONING OF BRAIN

Sensory Input :-

Receiving input such as sound ,image, etc

through sensory cell .

Interpretation.

Interpretation of the received input by the brainby defining states of neurons in the brain.

Motor Output.

Receiving of electric responses from the brain to

perform any action .

NATURAL BRAIN SIMULATED BRAIN

INPUT Through the natural neurons Through the silicon chip or artificial neurons

INTERPRETATION By different states of the neurons in the brain

By a set of bits in the set of register

OUTPUT Through the natural neurons Through the silicon chip

MEMORY Through permanent states of neurons Through Secondary memory

PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculations

Through arithmetic and logical calculation and artificial intelligence

BRAIN SIMULATION

UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN

The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the nanobots.

These robots are small enough to travel through out our circulatory system.

Traveling into the spine and brain, they will be able to monitor the activity and structure of our central nervous system.

They will be able to provide an interface with computer that is as close as our mind can be while we still reside in our biological form .

• 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.

RESEARCH WORK

IBM is developing the “Blue brain”

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.

NEWS: The EPFL Blue Gene was the 8th fastest supercomputer in the world

ADVANTAGES 1. Remembering things without any effort.2. Making decision without the presence of a person.3. Using intelligence of a person after the death .

4. Understanding the activities of animals . 5. Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve

stimulation.

DISADVANTAGES1. We become dependent upon the computer. .

2. Others may use technical knowledge against us.

3. Another fear is found today with respect to humancloning.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIRMENT

• 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.

CONCLUSION

• We will be able to transfer ourselves into computers at some point.

• It will bring both benefits and harm to human society.
