4. 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?

5. WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN? • BLUE BRAIN—The world’s first virtual brain • It’s 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 person’s 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 toperform any action .

9. 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 BRAIN SIMUALATIONNatural Brain vs Artificial Brain

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 totravel 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 Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems

17. 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 • Webecomedependentuponthe computer • Othersmayusetechnicalknowledgeagainstus. • Another fear is found today with respect to human cloning

20. We will be able to turn ourselves into computers
