I INTRODUCTION
The Blue Brain Project is assumed to be the first one
to explore about a true Artificial Intelligence via
the process of reverse engineering and also the effort
to reverse engineering a human brain. The vision
behind Virtual Brain will help shed some light on
some aspects of human recognition. The Blue Brain
Project aims to build a full computer model of a
functioning brain to simulate drug treatments or any
other brain related problems. Blue gene
supercomputer constructed by IBM was a machine
first used by Blue Brain Project and then a term Blue
Brain was introduced. It can be implemented by
using supercomputer, the fastest type but quite
expensive and are assist for special tasks which
require abundant amount of mathematical
computations, like weather forecasting employs a
supercomputer. The back pane of Blue Brain is
Artificial Intelligence, a technology which builds
intelligent machines and imparts intelligent agents.
Knowledge, learning, reasoning, planning,
communication and perception are the main goals of
its research.
Computational intelligence, statistical methods and
traditional symbolic AI are its main effective
approaches

II SCOPE
Intelligence is a boon that is created in born. One
who have this quality they assume themselves to
think to the level where others cant reach.
Intelligence is needed everywhere and in every field.
Era, in which we are in, also needs intelligent brain
for Human Societys sake. Intelligence is limited to
humans body and life after death, that intelligent
brain stops working.
Virtual brain is therefore a key solution to it.
With the help of the virtual brain, brain and
intelligence remains alive even after the death of a
person.
Humans want to live in a computer as a program so
that we can save ourselves from remembering a huge
amount of data and facts.
The introduction to microscope signifies a broader
advancement in technology.
Electron microscope provides a limited depth level
for a brain cells studies and nano tech microscope
outputs samples of brain tissue in mere few hours.
In depth, simulation of a small area of a brain
construct molecule by molecule has been created and
has re-constructed various results from real brains.

III MOTIVATION
The Blue Brain Project works on four major
motivations:
Treatments of Brain disfunctioning.
Scientific curiosity about consciousness and
the human mind.
A bottom up approach towards building
thinking machine.
Database of all neuroscientific research
results and related past stories.
Fig 2 : Motivations of Blue Brain
Nowadays, a number of people is suffering from
brain diseases, it is an alarming stage to fight against
these diseases and finding suitable treatments.
Practically, it is very difficult to study a living brain.
So, a virtual brain makes it possible and so
performing justification, to our experiments.
IV HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
REQUIREMENTS
A supercomputer with high processing
power processor and a very large storing
capacity
A very wide interconnection network.
A program to map electric impulses from
human brain to input signal that can be
received by the computer.
V MAIN STEPS TO BUILD VIRTUAL BRAIN
Fig 3: Steps to build Blue Brain
A. DATA ACQUISITION
In Data Acquisition, we need to study different types
of neurons and catalogue them. In involves taking
brain slices and placing them under a microscope,
measuring the shape and electrical activity of
individual neurons. Morphology ( A branch of
biology dealing with the study of form and structure
of organisms and their specific structural features,
Comparative morphology, Functional morphology
and Experimental morphology are different branches
of morphology), Electrophysiology behavior (A
minimally invasive procedure which test the
electrical conduction system of the heart to assess the
electrical activity and conduction pathways of the
heart, it enables twelve living neurons to be
concurrently patched and their electrical activity
recorded ) ,location within the cortex and their
population density are the different factors by which
neurons are typed. Form, function and positioning of
neurons are obtained by translating these
observations into mathematical algorithms. By the
help of these algorithms, biologically-realistic virtual
neurons ready for simulation are generated.

B. SIMULATION
INPUT
In the nervous system of our body, neurons are
responsible for message passing. Sensory cells
convey the input to our body. Electric impulses are
produced by sensory cells which are received by the
neurons. Further, electric impulses (through the
silicon chips of artificial neurons) are transferred to
the brain by neurons.
INTERPRETATION
Brain receives the electric impulses from the neurons
which are interpreted by means of registers. Different
states of brain can be accomplished by the different
values in these registers.
OUTPUT
On the basis of the states of the registers, the electric
impulses are sending by the brain representing the
responses which are then received by the sensory
cells to respond .The sensory cells of which part of
our body is going to receive that, it depends on the
state of the neurons in the brain at that time.
MEMORY
We can store certain information (states) permanently
in our brain by certain neurons .On the basis of our
requirement, the brain interprets those states and thus
past things can be gathered. To do so we demand the
neurons, to permanently show the clear vision of the
Brains States.
PROCESSING
By the use of some stored states, computation will be
performed by the computer. Logical and arithmetic
calculations are done in our neural circuitry. To
produce the output stored past experiences and
current input received are used.
C. VISUALIZATION OF RESULTS
Huge amount of data are generated by running
the Blue Brain simulation .Thousands of times
analyses of individual neurons must be repeated .
Data can be analyzed by using massively parallel
computers where it is created (server-side
analysis for experimental data, online analysis
during simulation). A vi sual expl or at i on of
t he ci r cui t i s an i mport ant part of t he
anal ysi s ( gi ven t he geomet r i c compl exi t y
of t he col umn) . It is invaluable for an
immediate verication of single cell activity by
mappi ng t he si mul at i on dat a ont o t he
morphology. The Blue Gene has been translated
into a 3D visual representation of the column to
design a visualization interface.
A challenging task is the visualization of the
neurons given the fact that a series of ten
thousand neurons clustered in high quality
mesh accounts for essentially 1 billion triangles
for which about hundred GB of management
data is required. To study in detail using further
simulations, visual interface makes it easy to
quickly identify those areas and to show
electrical activity in the brain, a visual
representation could be also used.
VI UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN
Nanobots, a very small robot, are the most promising
factor for uploading. Emerging technology fields
creating machines or robots whose components are
nearly close to the scale of a nanometer. These
nanoids are so small that it can travel throughout our
circulatory element. To accomplish these uploading,
small robots known as nanobots are used.
The activity and structure of our central nervous
system will be monitored by them by travelling into
the spine and the brain. An interface will be provided
with computers that is very close as our mind can be
while we still reside in our biological form. Carefully
scanning the structure of the brain is the additional
function of the nanobots which provides a complete
readout of the connections. Further, this information
helps the machine to function as the human functions.
Finally, by using nanobots, the data stored in the
entire brain will be uploaded into the computer.

VII POSITIVE ASPECTS
7.1 Decision can be made without human
intervention.
7.2 Intelligent brain of a person can be used, even
after death of a person.
7.3 Thought of animals can also be mapped.
7.4 Even deaf can hear via direct serve simulation.
7.5 Madness of a person can also be removed by
downloading the content of the brain.
VIII NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES
With so many advantages, some negative sides can
also come in path,
8.1 A person can become computer addicted.
8.2 Technical knowledge can be hacked by others
and that can be used against us.
8.3 People can explore new technology that can
prove to be critical threat.
IX FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
The first version of the Blue Brain, having around ten
thousand neurons, has already been created and
simulated by some of our great researchers; it is the
selection of our deep properties and efficiency of the
circuit that takes time. We can aim about deep
learning of brain components with its functioning,
disfunctioning and impact of a component on another
by analyzing different data sets gathered by the past
experiences as well as new ones. The amount of time
invested to build an appropriate detailed model
depends on the depth of the study that is being done
and amount of detail that is being captured. The
digital era in neurosciences begin with the launch of
the human brain project. Fundamentally, there is no
problem in modeling a brain and it is therefore likely
to be done in the near future. To accomplish this, and
hypothesis testing, on our databases can be
performed and it is a step into reality.
