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 ?

BLUE BRAIN
The name of the worlds first virtual brain.
Scientists are in research to create an artificial brain
that can think, response, take decision, and keep
anything in memory.
The main aim is to upload human brain into machine.

VIRTUAL BRAIN
Is an artificial brain.
It can think like brain, take decisions based on the
past experience, and response as the natural brain can.

NEED OF VIRTUAL BRAIN

Intelligence ,Knowledge and skill of a person can be
made eternal.
We can upload the contents of natural brain into it.
Things can be made easy as everything is automated.

FUNCTIONS OF BRAIN
Sensory Input
Integration
Motor Output

BRAIN SIMULATION

Input
Interpretation
Output
Memory
Processing

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.
Traveling into the spine and brain, they will be able to
monitor the activity and structure of our central
nervous system.
They will be able to provide an interface with
computer while we still reside in our biological form .

CURRENT RESEARCH WORK

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

CONTINUED
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.
"By 2047, almost all information will be in cyberspace
including all knowledge and creative works, said one
of the project's leaders, Gordon Bell.

ADVANTAGES

Remembering things without any effort.

Using intelligence of a person after the death.
Understanding the activities of animals .

DISADVANTAGES

Once a Blue Brain related to a particular persons

neural schema is hacked, the brain could be used
against the very person.
Since it an approach to make machines intelligent and
thoughtful it increases the risk of machines
conducting war against human.

APPLICATIONS

Gathering and Testing 100 Years of Data.

Global Facility
Foundation for Whole Brain Simulations
Foundation for Molecular Modeling of Brain
Function

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

REQUIRMENTS

A Super computer.
Memory with a very large storing capacity.
Processor with a very high processing power.
A very wide network.
A program
very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface
between the natural brain and the computer.

EXAMPLES 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.

CONTINUED
A another situation is that when a person gets older,
then he starts forgetting or takes a bit more time to
recognize to a person.
For the above reason we need a blue brain. It is a
simple chip that can be installed into the human brain
for which the short term memory and volatile
memory at the old age can be avoided.

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.
