INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION Human brain, the most valuable creation ofHuman brain, the most valuable creation of God. The man is called intelligent because of the God. The man is called intelligent because of the

brain. But we lose the knowledge of a brain brain. But we lose the knowledge of a brain when the body is destroyed after the death . when the body is destroyed after the death .

““BLUE BRAIN”- The name of the world’s first BLUE BRAIN”- The name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine thatvirtual brain. That means a machine that

can function as human brain.can function as human brain.

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

What is BLUE BRAINWhat is BLUE BRAIN

““YES", The IBM is now developing a YES", The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known as the BLUE BRAIN.virtual brain known as the BLUE BRAIN.

It would be the worlds first virtual brain.It would be the worlds first virtual brain.

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

Now there is no question how the virtual brain will Now there is no question how the virtual brain will work. But the question is how the human brain willwork. But the question is how the human brain will

be up loaded into it. This is also possible due to be up loaded into it. This is also possible due to the first growing technology.the first growing technology.

UPLOADING HUMAN BRAINUPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN

The uploading is possible by the use of small The uploading is possible by the use of small robots known as the robots known as the nanobots.nanobots.

These robots are small enough toThese robots are small enough to travel travel through out our circulatory system.through out our circulatory system.

Traveling into the spine and brain, they will Traveling into the spine and brain, they will be able to monitor the activity and structure be able to monitor the activity and structure of our central nervous system.of our central nervous system.

They will be able to provide an interface with They will be able to provide an interface with computer that is as close as our mind can be computer that is as close as our mind can be while we still reside in our biological form . while we still reside in our biological form .

Nanobots could also carefully scan the Nanobots could also carefully scan the structure of our brain, providing a structure of our brain, providing a complete readout of the connection.complete readout of the connection.

Thus the data stored in the entire brain will Thus the data stored in the entire brain will be uploaded into the computer.be uploaded into the computer.

RESEARCH WORK IBM developing the “Blue brain” IBM, in partnership with scientists at IBM, in partnership with scientists at

Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale De Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will Lausanne’s(EPFL) Brain and Mind Institute will begin simulating the brain’s biological systemsbegin simulating the brain’s biological systems..

NEWS: The EPFL Blue Gene was the 8th fastest supercomputer in the world

ADVANTAGES 1. Remembering things without any effort. 2. Making decision without the presence of a person. 3. Using intelligence of a person after the death .

4. Understanding the activities of animals . 5. Allowing the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation.

DISADVANTAGES 1. We become dependent upon the computer .

2. Others may use technical knowledge against us. 3 Another fear is found today with respect to human cloning
