INTRODUCTION
◦Human Brain—The most valuable
creation of GOD
◦The intelligence of a person is lost
after his/her death
◦ Is there any solution for this?
3
WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN?
◦ BLUE BRAIN—The world’s first virtual
brain.
◦ IBM is now in research to create a
virtual brain. It is called "Blue brain ".
◦ A machine that functions as human
Brain.
◦ An artificial brain that can think,
response, take decision, and keep
anything in memory. 4
WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL
BRAIN??
◦ 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.

FUNCTIONING OF HUMAN
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 .
6
BRAIN SIMUALATION
Natural Brain vs Artificial
Brain INPUT
Through the natural neurons
INTERPRETATION
By different states of the neurons in the brain
INPUT
Through the silicon chip or artificial neurons
INTERPRETATION
By a set of bits in the set of register

Brain OUTPUT
Through the natural neurons.
PROCESSING
Through arithmetic and logical calculations
OUTPUT
Through the silicon chip .
PROCESSING
Through arithmetic and logical calculation and artificial intelligence

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.
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.

RESEARCH WORK
IBM 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.12
13
Software & Hardware
Requirement 22.8 TFLOPS peak processing speed.
8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz (downgraded to handle massive parallel processing).
256MB to 512MB memory per processor.
Linux and C++ software.
100 kilowatts power consumption.
very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and the computer.
14
ADVANTAGES
Intelligence of a person is not lost even after his death
Things can be remembered easily without much effort
Allowing deaf to hear via nerve simulation
Making decisions without the presence of the person
15
DISADVANTAGES
We become dependent
upon the computer
Others may use technical
knowledge against us.
Another fear is found today
with respect to human
cloning16
We will be able to turn
ourselves into computers
