Welcome TO Seminar ON " Blue Brain"

The document summarizes a seminar presentation on Blue Brain and virtual brains. It discusses how the Blue Brain project aims to simulate the human brain using supercomputers. It explains that nanobots could potentially scan a person's brain and upload the contents to a computer, allowing one's intelligence and knowledge to live on digitally. The presentation outlines the key components of natural and simulated brains, current Blue Brain research by IBM and EPFL, and potential advantages and disadvantages of creating a virtual brain.

INTRODUCTION
Human brain, the most valuable creation of
God. The man is called intelligent because of the
brain. But we loss 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?
What is BLUE BRAIN
“YES", 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.
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.
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 .
FUNCTIONING OF 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 SIMULATION:-
NATURAL BRAIN VS SIMULATED BRAIN
INPUT INPUT
Through the natural Through the silicon
neurons chip or artificial
neurons

INTERPRETATION INTERPRETATION
By different states of By a set of bits in the set
the neurons in the brain of register
OUTPUT OUTPUT
Through the natural Through the silicon
neurons. chip .

PROCESSING PROCESSING
Through arithmetic and Through arithmetic and
logical calculations logical calculation and
artificial intelligence
MEMORY MEMORY
Through permanent Through Secondary
states of neurons memory

Now there is no question how the virtual brain will


work. But the question is how the human brain will
be up loaded into it. This is also possible due to
the first growing technology.
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 .
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.

NEWS: The EPFL Blue Gene was the 8th fastest supercomputer in the world
ADVANTAGES
1. Remembering things without any effort.
2. Making decision without the presence of a person.
3. Using intelligence of a person after the death .
4. Understanding the activities of animals .
5. Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve
stimulation.

DISADVANTAGES
1. We become dependent upon the computer .

2. Others may use technical knowledge against us.


3 Another fear is found today with respect to human
cloning
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
REQUIRMENT
1.A Super computer
2.Menory with a very large storing capacity
3.Processor with a very high processing power.
4.A very wide network.
5.A program to convert the electric impulses
from the brain to input signal, which
is to be received by the computer and vice versa.
6.very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface
between the natural brain and the computer.
CONCLUSION:-

We will be able to transfer ourselves into


computers at some point.

It will bring both benefits and harm to


human society .
