 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 world’s first
virtual brain
 It’s 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 person’s 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  OUTPUT
 Through the natural  Through the silicon
neurons. chip .
 PROCESSING  PROCESSING
 Through arithmetic  Through arithmetic
and logical and logical
calculations calculation and
artificial intelligence
 MEMORY  MEMORY
 Through permanent  Through Secondary
states of neurons 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

Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique

Federale De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain
and Mind Institute will begin
simulating the brain’s 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
