The document discusses the concept of 'Blue Brain,' a project aimed at creating a virtual brain that can replicate human intelligence and memory by uploading human brain functions into machines. Key aspects include the use of nanobots for monitoring and interfacing with the brain, current research efforts by IBM and Microsoft, and the potential advantages and disadvantages of such technology. The document concludes that while this technology holds promise for preserving human intelligence, it poses significant ethical and security risks.

- 2. CONTENTS • Introduction • What is Blue Brain? • What is Virtual Brain? • Need of Virtual Brain • Function of Brain • Brain Simulation • Uploading Human Brain • Current Research Work • Advantage and Disadvantages • Applications • Hardware and Software Requirement • Examples of Blue Brain • Conclusion
- 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 ?
- 4. BLUE BRAIN • The name of the world’s first virtual brain. • Scientists are in research to create an artificial brain that can think, response, take decision, and keep anything in memory. • The main aim is to upload human brain into machine.
- 5. VIRTUAL BRAIN • Is an artificial brain. • It can think like brain, take decisions based on the past experience, and response as the natural brain can.
- 6. NEED OF VIRTUAL BRAIN • Intelligence ,Knowledge and skill of a person can be made eternal. • We can upload the contents of natural brain into it. • Things can be made easy as everything is automated.
- 7. FUNCTIONS OF BRAIN • Sensory Input • Integration • Motor Output
- 8. BRAIN SIMULATION • Input • Interpretation • Output • Memory • Processing
- 9. 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 while we still reside in our biological form .
- 10. CURRENT RESEARCH WORK • IBM developing the “Blue brain” . • IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federal De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems.
- 11. CONTINUED… • Researchers at Microsoft's Media Presence Lab are developing a "virtual brain," a PC-based database that holds a record of an individual's complete life experience. • "By 2047, almost all information will be in cyberspace including all knowledge and creative works, said one of the project's leaders, Gordon Bell.
- 12. ADVANTAGES • Remembering things without any effort. • Using intelligence of a person after the death. • Understanding the activities of animals .
- 13. DISADVANTAGES • Once a Blue Brain related to a particular person’s neural schema is hacked, the brain could be used against the very person. • Since it an approach to make machines intelligent and thoughtful it increases the risk of machines conducting war against human.
- 14. APPLICATIONS • Gathering and Testing 100 Years of Data. • Global Facility • Foundation for Whole Brain Simulations • Foundation for Molecular Modeling of Brain Function
- 15. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIRMENTS • A Super computer. • Memory with a very large storing capacity. • Processor with a very high processing power. • A very wide network. • A program • very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and the computer.
- 16. EXAMPLES OF BLUE BRAIN • A very good example of utilization of blue brain is the case "short term memory". • In some movies we might have noticed that a person might be having short term memories.
- 17. CONTINUED… • 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.
- 18. CONCLUSION • We will be able to transfer ourselves into computers at some point. • It will bring both benefits and harm to human society . • Very soon this technology will be highly accepted whole over the world.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Human brain, the most valuable creation of God. The man is called intelligent because of the brain • But we loss the knowledge from a brain when the body is destroyed after the death of man. • That knowledge might have been used for the development of the human society. • Is it really possible to create a human brain? To gain a complete understanding of the brain and to enable better and faster development of brain disease treatments. This data is used to build biologically realistic models of neurons and networks of neurons in the cerebral cortex. The simulations are carried out on a Blue Gene supercomputer built by IBM, hence the name “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.
- #5: That means a machine that can function as human brain. So that man can think, take decision without any effort. • After the death of the body, the virtual brain will act as the man . So, even after the death of a person we will not loose the knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of that man that can be used for the development of the human society. IBM is now in research to create a virtual brain. It is called “Blue brain “. If possible, this would be the first virtual brain of the world.
- #6: which does not actually the natural brain, but can act as the brain. It is possible by using a super computer, with a huge amount of storage capacity, processing power and an interface between the human brain and this artificial one . • Through this interface the data stored in the natural brain can be uploaded into the computer.
- #8: Receiving input such as sound ,image, etc through sensory cell . Interpretation of the received input by the brain by defining states of neurons in the brain. Receiving of electric responses from the brain to perform any action .
- #11: • Remembering things without any effort. • Making decision without the presence of a person. • Using intelligence of a person after the death . • Understanding the activities of animals . • Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation
- #13: • Making decision without the presence of a person. Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation.
- #14: We become dependent upon the computer . Others may use technical knowledge against us. Another fear is found with respect to human cloning. A very costly procedure of regaining the memory back.
- #15: Cracking the Neural Code Understanding Neocortical Information Processing. Novel Tool for Drug Discovery for Brain Disorders
- #16: Program -to convert the electric impulses from the brain to input signal, which is to be received by the computer and vice versa.
