4
INTRODUCTION

• Human BrainThe most valuable creation of GOD
• The intelligence of a person is lost after
  his/her death
• Is there any solution for this?

5
WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN?

• BLUE BRAINThe worlds first virtual brain
• Its being developed by IBM
• Within 30 years we will be able to scan ourselves
  into computers

6
WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN?

• A machine that functions as our Brain
• We can just call it as Artificial Brain
• Possible by using Super Computers

7
WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN??

• To upload the contents of human brain
• To keep a persons intelligence/skill alive
• To remember the things without any effort

8
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 .

9
BRAIN SIMUALATIONNatural 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

10

• OUTPUT
• Through the natural neurons.
• PROCESSING
• Through arithmetic and logical calculations

• OUTPUT
• Through the silicon chip .
• PROCESSING
• Through arithmetic and logical calculation and
  artificial intelligence

11

• MEMORY
• Through permanent states of neurons

• MEMORY
• Through Secondary memory

12
ARTIFICIAL NUERAL NETWORK
13
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.

14
?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.
15
RESEARCH WORK

• IBM developing the Blue brain
• IBM, in partnership with scientists at
  Switzerlands Ecole Polytechnique Federale De
  Lausannes(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will
  begin simulating the brains 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.

18
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

19
DISADVANTAGES

• We become dependent upon the computer
• Others may use technical knowledge against us.
• Another fear is found today with respect to human
  cloning

20
We will be able to turn ourselves into computers
