The document discusses Blue Brain, an IBM project to develop the world's first virtual brain through supercomputer simulation. Within 30 years, it may be possible to scan a human brain into a computer. The Blue Brain project has created a simulation with 10,000 virtual neurons on a supercomputer in Lausanne, Switzerland. Uploading a human brain could involve nanobots scanning brain structure and activity to interface it with a computer. While this could allow immortality and enhanced memory, it also poses risks around dependence on computers and high costs.

3. 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
WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN
BLUE BRAIN. The worlds first virtual brain
Is being developed by IBM
Within 30 years we will be able to scan
ourselves into computers

4. WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN
 The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known as
the BLUE BRAIN.
 It would be the worlds first virtual brain.Within 30
years, we will be able to scan ourselves into the
computers.

5. EXAMPLE OF BLUE BRAIN
 A very good example of utilization of blue brain is the
case "short term memory".
 A another situation is that when a person gets older,
then he starts forgetting or takes a bit more time to
recognize to a person.
 For the above reason we need a blue brain. It is simple
chip that can be installed into the human brain for
which the short term memory and volatile memory at
the old age can be avoided.

6. WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN ???
A machine that functions as ou
Brain
We can just call it as Artificial
Brain
Possible by using Super
Computers
WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL BR
To upload the contents of huma
brain
To keep a personals
intelligence/skill alive
To remember the things withou
any effort

7. 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 .

8. 'Blue Brain': An Artificial Brain Comes To
Life In Switzerland
• The machine is beautiful as it wakes up – it means it works in
a fine way when started.Nerve cells flicker on the screen ,
along with that electrical charges are produced.
• This piece of hardware consists of about 10,000 computer
chips that act like real nerve cells.
• The simulation was created at the Technical University in
Lausanne, Switzerland, where 35 researchers participate in
maintaining this artificial brain.

9. 'Blue Brain': An Artificial Brain Comes To
Life In Switzerland
• It runs on one of the world's most powerful
supercomputers.
• The goal is to build a much bigger electronic
thinking machine -- one that would ultimately
replicate the human brain .
• "Blue Brain," is the most radical attempt so far
to investigate the mystery of consciousness.

10. UPLOADING OF HUMAN BRAIN

11. 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 .

12. Photos of nanobots:-

13. UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN(CONT….)
• 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. FLASHES OF ACTIVITY
• Blue Brain started
producing flashes of
activity that
scientists recognized
from measurements
of natural brain
behavior -- on its
very first day. "It
happened entirely
on its own“.

15. BLUE BRAIN IN LAUSANNA,SWITZERLAND
• The "Blue Brain" supercomputer in Lausanne, Switzerland.

17. BLUE BRAIN MODEL
VISUALISATION
• The representation shows the
part of the brain which has
been modeled using a
supercomputer.
• The visualization is part of an
ambitious project to create a
biologically accurate, functional
model of the brain using IBM's
Blue Gene supercomputer.

18. BENEFITS OF BLUE BRAIN
 It acts as a supercomputer.
 Improvements in processing,speed and memory could make
entire human brain simulated.
 Things could be remembered without any effort.
 Use the intelligence of the person after death.
 It can make decisions entirely of its own.
 Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve simulation.

19. DISADVANTAGES OF BLUE BRAIN
• We become dependent upon the computers.
• Another fear is found with respect to human
cloning.
• A very costly procedure of regaining the
memory back.

20. CONCLUSION
• Will be able to transfer ourselves into the
computer at some point.
• Eventually aim of applying terrific computer
power to the simulation of an entire brain.
• Very soon this technology will be highly
accepted whole over the world.
