3. Introduction
Human brain-most valuable creation
of GOD.
Intelligence of human is lost after his
death.
Can we get back a persons brain
after death?

4. What is blue brain?
BLUE BRAIN-World’s first virtual brain . The
machine that functions as a human brain
After the death of a person we will not loose the
knowledge, intelligence, personalities and
feelings of the person that can be useful for the
society

5. What is virtual brain?
A machine that can function as brain
It can take decision.
It can think.
It can response.
It can keep things in memory.
It also has feelings and emotions

6. Functioning of natural 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 .

7. Blue Brain objectives
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.

8. Natural brain v/s artificial brain

9. Hardware & Software requirements
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.
Finally it is a SUPERCOMPUTER

10. Blue Gene-Super computer
Blue Gene – Computer architecture project
designed to produce several super computers
having speeds in TFLOPS range.
Developed through a partnership with Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
Theoretical performance : 280 TFLOPS sustained
360 TFLOPS peak.
It uses Luster to access multiple file systems in
the 600TB – 1PB range

11. The blue gene/L super computer

12. Uploading human brain-NANOBOTS
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
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 while we still reside in our biological
form

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. Current research work
IBM’s BLUE GENE SUPERCOMPUTER.
IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Brain
and Mind Institute (BMI) started simulating the brain’s
biological systems.

15. Modelling
Neurons receive inputs from thousands of other
neurons, and has branches of highly complex dendritic
trees and require tens of thousands of compartments
to accurately represent them.
Therefore a massive increase in computational power
is required to make this quantum leap — an increase
that is provided by IBM’s Blue Gene supercomputer.
Using a Blue Gene supercomputer running Michael
Hines's NEURON software, the simulation does not
consist simply of an artificial neural network, but
involves a biologically realistic model of neurons

16. Advantages & Limitations

17. Applications of blue brain
Cracking the Neural Code
To develop a new breed of supercomputer
Understanding Neocortical Information
Processing
A Novel Tool for Drug Discovery for Brain
Disorders
A Global Facility
A Foundation for Whole Brain Simulations
A Foundation for Molecular Modeling of Brain
Function

18. Examples
• A very good example of utilization of blue brain is
the case "short term memory".
• In some movies we might have noticed that a
person might be having short term memories.

19. Conclusion
We will be able to turn ourselves
into computers
