CONCLUSION
3.
• Virtualization isa process of creating a software based
representation of something rather than a physical
one.
• Putting multiple virtual Machines on a single computer
enable several operating systems and applications to
run on just one physical server at “Host”
• The Aim of Blue Brain Technology is to upload the
complete information existing in the human brain in to
the computer.
ABSTRACT
4.
The Humanbrain is considered to be full of complexities.
The Blue Brain System is an attempt to reverse engineer in
the human brain.
The Project was Founded in May 2005 by Henry Markram
at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland
Goals of the project are to gain a complete Understanding
of the brain.
Is it really possible to create a human brain?
INTRODUCTION
5.
Blue brain isa swiss brain
research initiative that aims to
create a digital reconstruction of
rodent and eventually human brain
by reverse-engineering.
It will be the worlds first virtual
brain. Within 30 years, we will be
able to scan ourselves into the
computers.
WHAT Is BLUE BRAIN ?
6.
A machinethat can function as brain .
It can take decision.
It can think.
It can respond.
It can keep things in memory.
WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN ?
7.
As welost the knowledge of a master Mind like Albert
Einstein and Steve Jobs after his death, we simply
scream for it and go on.
But the point is that, his contributions are completely
stopped. Who knows, if he was living a pretty few
years more , he might have find a way for time Travel.
There comes the need of the Blue brain and the
initiation of that technology.
So, we could bring back Master mind like Albert
Einstein.
NEED of VIRTUAL BRAIN ?
8.
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 .
FUNCTIONING OF BRAIN
9.
BRAIN SIMULATION
• NATURALBRAIN VS SIMULATED BRAIN
INPUT
Through the natural
neurons.
INPUT
Through the silicon chip or
artificial neurons.
INTERPRETATION
By different states of the
neurons in the brain.
INTERPRETATION
By a set of bits in the set
of register .
10.
OUTPUT
Throughthe natural neurons.
OUTPUT
Through the silicon chip .
PROCESSING
Through arithmetic and
logical calculations.
PROCESSING
Through arithmetic and
logical calculation and
artificial intelligence .
BRAIN SIMULATION
11.
MEMORY
Throughpermanent states
of neurons .
BRAIN SIMULATION
NATURAL BRAIN VS SIMULATED BRAIN
MEMORY
Through Secondary
memory .
Now there is no question how the virtual brain will
work. But the question is how the human brain will
be up loaded into it. This is also possible due to
the fast growing technology.
12.
The uploadingis 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 that is as close
as our mind can be while we still reside
in our biological form .
UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN
13.
Nanobots couldalso 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.
UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN(CONT….)
NANOROBOTES
14.
A Supercomputer.
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, which is
to be received by the computer and vice versa.
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.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIRMENT
15.
The projectwill search for insights into how human beings
think and remember.
Scientists think that blue brain can 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 can lead to new breed of supercomputers.
BLUE BRAIN PROJECT OBJECTIVES
16.
The neocortexis the largest and most complex part of the
human brain, and constitutes about 85 per cent of the brain's
total mass.
The neocortex is thought to be responsible for the cognitive
functions of language, learning, memory and complex thought.
The simulated neurons will be interconnected with rules the
team has worked out about how the brain functions.
This result would develop a simulated model known as
“Bluebrain”.
HOW THE BLUE BRAIN PROJECT WILL WORK
17.
DATA ACquisition
Measuringthe shape and
electrical activity of individual
neurons.
The electrophysiological
behaviour of neurons is studied
using a 12 patch
clamp instrument.
18.
Simulations
The primary softwareused by the
BBP for neural simulations is a
package called NEURON.
It is written in C, C++, and FORTRAN.
The simulation step involves
synthesizing virtual cells using the
algorithms that were found to
describe real neurons.
19.
RT Neuronis the primary application
used by the BBP for visualization of
neural simulations. The software was
developed internally by the BBP team.
It is written in C++ and OpenGL.
RT Neuron is ad-hoc software written
specifically for neural simulations, i.e.
it is not generalizable to other types of
simulation
BLUE BRAIN MODEL
VISUALISATION
20.
"Blue Brain"offer a better understanding of
human consciousness.
It’s an actual ‘computer brain’ that may
eventually have the ability to think for itself.
When it was first fed electrical impulses,
strange patterns began to appear with
lightning-like flashes produced by ‘cells’ that
the scientists recognized from living human
and animal processes. "It happened entirely
on its own,"
The "Blue Brain" & Human
Consciousness
21.
The humanbrain has 100 billions, nerve cells that
enable us to adapt quickly to an immense array of
stimuli.
Blue brain is a technology that uses “Blue Gene” a
supercomputer capable of processing 228 TFLOPS.
The main aim of blue brain is to build an software
replica or template which can reveal many existing
aspects of the brain circuits, memory capacity, and how
memories are lost.
BLUE BRAIN POWER
22.
The machineis beautiful as it wakes up – it means it
works in a fine way when started. Nerve cells flicker on
the screen , along with that electrical charges produced.
This piece of hardware consists of about 10,000
computer chips that act like real nerve cells.
The simulation was created at the Technical University
in Lausanne, Switzerland, where 35 researchers
participate in maintaining this artificial brain.

LAUSANNA,SWITZERLAND
24.
A humanbrain consists of
100 billion nerve cells. A
supercomputer simulating an
organ using current
technology - would produce
a virtual human brain.
RIDDLE OF CONSCIOUSNESS
25.
The BlueBrain simulation
uses one microprocessor for
each of the 10,000 neurons
in the cortical column of a
rat's cerebral cortex.
It helps to build a brain
microcircuit, in order to
scale it in human brain.
BLUE BRAIN SIMULATION USING MICROPROCESSOR
26.
It actsas a supercomputer.
Improvements in processing, speed and memory could make entire human
brain simulated.
Things can be remembered without any effort.
Use the intelligence of the person after death.
It can make decisions entirely of its own.
Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve simulation.
BENEFITS OF BLUE BRAIN
27.
We becomedependent upon the computers.
Another fear is found with respect to human
cloning.
A very costly procedure of regaining the
memory back.
DISADVANTAGES OF BLUE BRAIN
28.
CONCLUSION
Will beable 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.
