4. INTRODUCTION
• Could a simulated brain start to think, feel and experience
the world as if it were an organic, human brain?
•Technology is growing faster than everything. If possible,
IBM’s “BLUE BRAIN”, an artificial brain that can think,
respond, take decision, and keep anything in memory,
•would be the first virtual brain of the world.
The goal is to reverse engineer the brain into a computer.

5. WHY BLUE BRAIN?
• Today we are developed because of our intelligence.
Intelligence is the inborn quality that cannot be created.
• After the death of a person, virtual brain will act as a
person so we will not lose the knowledge, intelligence,
personalities, feelings and memories of that man that
can be used for the development of the human society.
• Certain super brains like that of Steve Jobs, or Stephen
Hawkings could be interfaced with computer to develop
super computers.

6. OBJECTIVES
• IBM’s blue brain 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.

➢Simulating human
brain by reverse
engineering &
combining biological
studies to digital
technology using
concept of Artificial
Neural Network
(ANN)

10. UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN
• The uploading is possible by the
use of small robots known as
the NANOBOTS.
• These robots are small enough
to travel throughout our
circulatory system.
• Will monitor activity of brain by
traveling into the spine and
brain
• They will provide an interface
with computer .

13. BLUE BRAIN POWER
Blue Brain will reveal many existing
aspects of the brain circuits
,memory capacity , and how
memories are lost.
The modelling is also able to work out
best way to compensate and repair
error circuits .The blue brain model
can be used to detect and test
treatment strategies for neurological
diseases.

14. PROS…
• We can remember things without any
effort.
• Decision can be made without the
presence of a person.
• Even after the death of a man his
intelligence can be used.
• Improvements in processing speed and
memory could make entire human brain
simulated.
• The activity of different animals can
be understood.
• Help deaf and mad people
14
Lishita Shah

15. CONS…
• We become dependent upon the computer
systems.
•Others may use technical knowledge against us.
Computer viruses will pose an increasingly critical
threat.
•Possibilities of human cloning.
If in future surrogates to humans are developed
then, there will be no human interaction and the
world will run on computers only.

16. APPLICATIONS
• Gathering and Testing 100 Years of Data
Cracking the Neural Code
• A Foundation for Molecular Modeling of Brain
Function
• Understanding Neocortical Information Processi
ng
• A Novel Tool for Drug Discovery for Brain
Disorders
• A Global Facility
• A Foundation for Whole Brain Simulations
