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?
WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN? • BLUE BRAIN—The world’s first virtual brain • It’s being developed by IBM • Within 30 years we will be able to scan ourselves into computers
WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN? • A machine that functions as our Brain • We can just call it as Artificial Brain • Possible by using Super Computers
WHY DO WE NEED VIRTUAL BRAIN?? • To upload the contents of human brain • To keep a person’s intelligence/skill alive • To remember the 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 toperform any action .
INPUT Through the natural neurons INTERPRETATION By different states of the neurons in the brain INPUT Through the silicon chip or artificial neurons INTERPRETATION By a set of bits in the set of register BRAIN SIMUALATIONNatural Brain vs Artificial Brain
OUTPUT Through the natural neurons. PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculations OUTPUT Through the silicon chip . PROCESSING Through arithmetic and logical calculation and artificial intelligence
MEMORY Through permanent states of neurons MEMORY Through Secondary memory
UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN • The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the nanobots. • These robots are small enough totravel through out our circulatory system. • 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.
RESEARCH WORK • IBM developing the “Blue brain” • IBM, in partnership with scientists at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systems
Software & Hardware Requirement • 22.8 TFLOPS peak processing speed. • 8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz (downgraded to handle massive parallel processing). • 256MB to 512MB memory per processor. • Linux and C++ software. • 100 kilowatts power consumption. • very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and the computer.
ADVANTAGES • Intelligence of a person is not lost even after his death • Things can be remembered easily without much effort • Allowing deaf to hear via nerve simulation • Making decisions without the presence of the person
DISADVANTAGES • Webecomedependentuponthe computer • Othersmayusetechnicalknowledgeagainstus. • Another fear is found today with respect to human cloning
We will be able to turn ourselves into computers
