Blue Brain

The document discusses blue brain technology, which aims to create a virtual brain through supercomputing. A blue brain would function similarly to a human brain through artificial neurons, memory, and sensory input/output. Current research involves simulating biological brain systems using IBM's supercomputers. The goal is to upload a human brain's contents into a machine so that intelligence and memories could continue after death. Potential advantages include remembering things without effort and making decisions without a person's presence. However, risks involve dependency on computer systems and threats from viruses or unauthorized access to information.

INTRODUCTION
Human brain, the most valuable
creation of God.
What is the difference between man and
animals?
Can we get back a persons brain if that
person dies?
What happen if we create a brain and
up load the contents of natural
brain into it.
Blue brain
The name of the worlds first virtual brain. That means a machine that can
function as human brain.
Aim: To upload human brain into machine.
Advantage:
man can think, take decision without any effort
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.
Is it possible to create a human brain?
Yes.
l
What is Blue brain?
The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known as the Blue brain. It would be
the worlds first virtual brain.
Virtual Brain: is an artificial brain, 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 .
Why we need virtual brain?
- Intelligence
- remembering things such as people's names, their birthdays, and the
spellings of words, proper grammar, important dates, history facts, and etc..
How the natural brain works?
- nervous system:
-Sensory input
-Integration
-Motor Output
-
-electric impulses
BRAIN SIMULATION
Natural Brain Simulated Brain
INPUT-
- by neurons
-by sensory cells
INPUT-
-artificial neurons system with silicon chip
-electric impulses from the sensory cells
INTERPRETATION INTERPRETATION
MEMORY MEMORY
how to implement this entire natural thing by using artificial things
- Nano robots:
These robots will be small enough to travel throughout our circulatory
systems.
monitor the activity and structure of our central nervous system
They will be able to provide an interface with computers.
. Nano robots could also carefully scan the structure of our brain.
How the human brain will be up loaded into it ?
1.A super computer.
2. Memory 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 Nano robots to act as the interface between the natural brain and
the computer
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIRMENT
CURRENT RESEARCH WORK
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 .
The EPFL Blue Gene was the 8th fastest
supercomputer in the world
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.
ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATION
1. We can remember things without any effort.
2. Decision can be made without the presence of a person.
3. Even after the death of a man his intelligence can be used.
4. The activity of different animals can be understood.
5. It would allow the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation, and also be helpful for
many psychological diseases.
Advantages:
Further, there are many new dangers these technologies will open.
We will be susceptible to new forms of harm.
1.We become dependent upon the computer systems.
2. Others may use technical knowledge against us.
3. Computer viruses will pose an increasingly critical threat.
4. The real threat, however, is the fear that people will have of new technologies.
- human cloning.
Disadvantages:
CONCLUSION:
We will be able to transfer ourselves into computers at some point. Most
arguments against this outcome are seemingly easy to circumvent.
simply require further time for technology to increase.
The only serious threats raised are also overcome as we note the
combination of biological and digital technologies
