 Human brain, the most valuable creation of God.
 The man is called intelligent because of the Brain ,But
we lose the knowledge of a brain when the body is
destroyed after the death .
 “BLUE BRAIN”- The name of the world’s first virtual
brain. That means a machine that can function as
human brain.
 Is it really possible to create a human 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.

 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 a 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.

 A machine that can function as
brain .
 It can take decision.
 It can think.
 It can respond.
 It can keep things in memory.

 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 .

 The project will search for insights into how human
beings think and remember.
 Scientists think that blue brain could also help to cure
the Alzheimer'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.

 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 .

 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.

 A Super computer.
 Memory with a very large storing capacity.
 Processor with a very high processing power.
 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.
 The Blue Brain has some 8,000 processors which
map one or two simulated brain neurons to each
processor, making the computer a replica of 10,000
neurons.

 "Blue Brain" offer a better understanding of human
consciousness.
 It’s an actual ‘computer brain’ that may eventually
have the ability to think for itself.
 When it was first fed electrical impulses, strange
patterns began to appear with lightning-like flashes
produced by ‘cells’ that the scientists recognized from
living human and animal processes. "It happened
entirely on its own,"

 This helped the scientists to understand the
actual processing of the brain which arised the
concept of “Blue brain”.
 Blue brain acts as a computer that would
operate at inconceivable speeds – something
fast enough to simulate the human brain.
 A Blue brain aims to unlock the secrets of brain
by using the brute power of a supercomputer.

 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“.

 The human brain has 100 billions,nerve cells that
enable us to adapt quickly to an immense array of
stimuli.
 Blue brain is a technology that uses “Blue Gene” a
supercomputer capable of processing 228 TFLOPS.
 The main aim of blue brain is to build an software
replica or template which could reveal many exisiting
aspects of the brain circuits ,memory capacity , and
how memories are lost.

 The modeling is also able to work out best way to
compensate and repair error circuits .
 The blue brain model can be used to detect and
test treatment statergies for neurological diseases.

 Scientists rely on computer models to
understand the toughest concepts in science.
 A computer model is being designed to take on
the human brain.
 A generic template is build which allows us to
reconstruct a brain according to any
specifications.

 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.

 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.

 The "Blue Brain" supercomputer in Lausanne, Switzerland.

 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.

 A human brain
consists of 100
billion nerve cells. A
supercomputer
simulating an organ
using current
technology - would
produce a virtual
human brain.

 The Blue Brain
simulation uses one
microprocessor for each
of the 10,000 neurons in
the cortical column of a
cerebral cortex.
It helps to build a brain
microcircuit, in order to
scale it in human 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.

 We become dependent upon the computers.
 Another fear is found with respect to human
cloning.
 A very costly procedure of regaining the
memory back.

 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.
