INTRODUCTIO
NBLUE BRAIN ALLOWS TO TRANSFER ALL THE
SUBSTANCES OF HUMAN BRAIN TO VIRTUAL BRAIN
LIKE PC.

THAT MEANS A MACHINE CAN FUNCTION AS

HUMAN BRAIN.
The Blue brain project was initially
founded on May 2005 at Brain and
mind institute named EPFL in
Switzerland.

It was launched through the founder

of EPFL, Henry Markram.

And now IBM is developing this

project virtual brain under the name
BLUE BRAIN.
OBJECTIV
E
Create a program that can upload a human
brain to a computer

To gain complete understanding of the

brain
 WHAT IS VIRTUAL
BRAIN?
A MACHINE THAT CAN FUNCTION AS
BRAIN.

IT CAN TAKE

DECISION. IT CAN

THINK.

IT CAN RESPOND.

IT CAN KEEP THINGS

HOW NORMAL BRAIN
WORKS?
WHY VIRTUAL
BRAIN ?
To uploa d contents of the na tura l
bra i n into it.

To keep the intelligence, knowledge

a nd skill of a ny person for ever

To remember things without effort.

As a back up source of storage of

information directly from the
mind.
HOW TO UPLOAD DATA
TO VIRTUAL BRAIN?
The uploading is possible by the use of small robots
known as the NANOBOTS.

So small that they can travel through brain & spinal

Will monitor activity of brain & structure of neurons

Defines the Data using sensory technology, Then upload

data to computer.

They will provide an interface with computer.

HARDWARE AND
SOFTWARE REQUIRED

Super computer

Memory

Processor

Program

Nanobots
ADVANTAGES:
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.
DISADVANTAGES:
We become dependent upon the computers.

Another fear is found with respect to human

cloning.

A very costly procedure of regaining the

memory back.
CONCLUSIO
N
The blue brain project, if implemented
successfully, would indeed change many things
around us and it will boost the area of research
and technology.
