4. Introduction
 Human brain is the most valuable creation of god.The
man is intelligent because of his brain.
 Blue Brain is the name of the world’s first virtual brain
that means the machine can function as a human-brain.
 Today scientist are in research to create a blue brain that
can think, response, take decision and keep anything in
memory.
 The main aim is to upload the human brain into machine
so, that man can think, take decision without any effort.
 The blue brain is an attempt to reverse engineer brain to
recreate the artificial brain inside the computer.

5. What Is Blue Brain?
 The IBM is now developing a virtual brain which
is known as BLUE BRAIN.
 Within 30 year s we will able to scan ourselves
into the computers which is anVirtual Brain.
 It will take a decision which were on past & can
think like a brain which will respond like a natural
brain.
 It is possible by using supercomputer with huge
amount of storage capacity.
 It is interface between artificial brain and human
brain.

6. Virtual Brain

7. Need of Virtual Brain
 Today we are developed because of our
intelligence. Intelligence is the inborn quality
that cannot be created. Some people have
this quality so, they can think up to such an
extent where the other cannot reach.
 Human society is always in need of such
intelligence, but this intelligence will lost
after the death of the body.
 SO, the virtual brain is the solution to it.

8. Brain Simulation
Content Natural Brain Artificial Brain
Input In the nervous system in
our body the neurons are
responsible for message
passing.
In the artificial nervous
system the neurons are
artificially created.
Output The brain send the
electric impulses
representing the
response to our body.
Based on register that
the output signal can
given to the artificial
neuron body.
Memory Some neurons are
permanently stored in
our brain.
It is not possible to store
data permanently.

9. Technology Specifications
 4,096 Quad core nodes.
 Each core is a power PC 450, 850 MHz.
 16Terabytes of memory.
 1 PB of disk space.
 Operating System : Linux SuSE SLES 10.

10. Merits
 Remembering things without any effort.
 Making decision without the presence of person.
 Using intelligence of a person after the death.
 Understanding the activities of animals.
 Global model of human working brain that is
very useful in research.
 It would allow the deaf to hear via direct nerve,
and also be helpful for curing many
psychological diseases.

11. Demerits
 We become dependent upon the computer.
 Others may be technical knowledge against us.
 A very costly procedure.
 Computer viruses will pose an increasingly
critical threat.
 It will increase the dependency on blue brain
every time.
 Since it is an approach to make machines
intelligent and thoughtful it increases the risk of
machines conducting war against human.

12. Technique
 The project was founded in May 2005 by
Henry Mark at the EPFL in Lausanne,
Switzerland.
 Goal of the project is to gain the complete
understanding of the brain and the faster
development of the brain disease treatment.
 The research involves the studying the slices
of living brain tissue by using microscope.
Data is collected about all the many different
neuron types.

13. Conclusion
 In conclusion we will able to transfer ourselves into
computers at some point.
 They are simple minded , or simply required further time
for technology to increase
 The blue gene super computer up to 100 cortical
columns,1 million neurons,1 billion synapses simulated at
once
 This is roughly equivalent to the brain power of a honey
bee.
 Human brain have about 2 millions columns in their
cortices.
 It is predicated that the project will be capable of this by
the year of 2023.
