    The document discusses Blue Brain, an IBM project to simulate the human brain using supercomputers. It aims to upload a person's intelligence and skills to a virtual brain, allowing them to live on digitally after death. The simulation would function similarly to the natural brain, receiving input, interpreting it through neural states, processing information, storing memories, and outputting responses. Current research involves simulating biological brain systems. Uploading a human brain may one day be possible using nanobots to scan brain structures. While it could benefit conditions like deafness, concerns include dependency on computers and potential misuse of personal data.

    Contents:
    1 2 3 4 5 INTRODUCTION WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN FUNCTION OF NATURAL BRAIN BRAIN SIMULATION 6 CURRENT RESEARCH WORK 7 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQIREMENT 8 ADVANTAGES 9 DISADVANTAGE 10 CONCLUSION

    INTRODUCTION
    Human BrainThe most valuable creation of GOD The intelligence of a person is lost after his/her death Is there any solution for this?

    WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN?


    BLUE BRAINThe worlds first virtual brain Its being developed by IBM Within 30 years we will be able to scan ourselves into computers

    WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN?


    A machine that functions as our Brain We can just call it as Artificial Brain Possible by using Super Computers

    WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN??

    To upload the contents of human brain To keep a persons intelligence/skill alive To remember the things without any effort

    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 .

    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

    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

    MEMORY Through permanent states of neurons

    MEMORY Through Secondary memory

    ARTIFICIAL NUERAL NETWORK

    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. 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 developing the Blue brain IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerlands Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausannes(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brains biological systems

    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.

    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

    DISADVANTAGES We become dependent upon the computer Others may use technical knowledge against us. Another fear is found today with respect to human cloning

    We will be able to turn ourselves into computers

    ANY QUERIES
