2. 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. Is it really possible to create a human brain?

3. A machine that can function as human brain. It can think , response , take decision & keep things in memory It’s main aim is to upload human brain into a machine WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN ?

4. WHY WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN ? To upload contents of the natural brain into it . We can easily remember huge amount of data without having any effort The brain & intelligence will alive even after the death of a person

5. 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. Within 30 years, we will be able to scan ourselves into the computers.

6. FUNCTIONING OF 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 .

7. NATURAL BRAIN SIMULATED BRAIN INPUT Through the natural neurons. INPUT Through the silicon chip or artificial neurons. NATURAL VS SIMULATED BRAIN

8. OUTPUT Through the natural neurons. OUTPUT Through the silicon chip. PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculations. PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculation and artificial intelligence .

9. UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the N anobots . These robots are small enough to travel through out our circulatory system. Travelling into the spine and brain, they will be able to monitor the activity and structure of our central nervous system.

10. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIRMENT A Super computer. Memory with a very large storing capacity. Processor with a very high processing power. A very wide network. A program to convert the electric impulses from the brain to input signal, Very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and the computer. The Blue Brain has some 8,000 processors which map one or two simulated brain neurons to each processor, making the computer a replica of 10,000 neurons.

11. EXAMPLE 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.

12. CURRENT RESEARCH WORK IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s EPFL Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems. Researcher’s at microsoft media presents lab are developing a “virtual brain,” a PC based database which holds MY LIFE BITS

13. ADVANTAGES OF BLUE BRAIN Blue brain is an approach to store and utilize human intelligence and information present in the mind after human demise. To keep the intelligence , knowledge and skill of any person forever to upload contents of natural brain into it. DISADVANTAGES Another fear is found with respect to human cloning. A very costly procedure of regaining the memory back.

14. CONCLUSION Will be able to transfer ourselves into the computer at some point. Eventually aim of applying terrific computer power to the simulation of an entire brain. Very soon this technology will be highly accepted whole over the world.
