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.
What is blue brain??
Is it really possible to create a human 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 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 .

 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 fast 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.
They will be able to provide an interface with computer

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.
UTILIZATION 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.
BLUE BRAIN PROJECT OBJECTIVES:
The project will search for insights into how human beings
think and remember.
Scientists think that blue brain could also help to cure the
Parkinson's disease .
The brain circuitry is in a complex state of flux, the brain

rewiring itself every moment of its existence. If the
scientists can crack open the secret of how and why the
brain does it, the knowledge could lead to new breed of
supercomputers.
RESEARCH WORK:
IBM developing the “Blue brain” .This is founded in May
2005 by HENRY MARKAM at Switzerland’s Ecole
Polytechnique Federal 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
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
REQUIREMENTS:
• A Super computer.
• Memory with a 256-512MB per processor.
• Processor with a very high processing power.
• A very wide network.
• A program to convert the electric impulses from the
brain to input signal, which is to be received by the
computer and vice versa.
• Very powerful NANOBOTS to act as the interface
between the natural brain and the computer.
ADVANTAGES
 Remember things easily
 Make decisions
 Using intelligence of a person after the death .
 Understanding the activities of animals .

DISADVANTAGES
 We become dependent upon the computer .
• Others may use technical knowledge against us.
Cloning of human is possible.
• A very costly procedure of regaining the memory back.

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.
