3. 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 ?

4. Blue Brain
• First virtual Brain.
• Its aim is to upload a
human brain into a
machine.

5. Virtual Brain
• IBM is developing a
virtual brain.
• A machine that can
function as our Brain.
• An Artificial Brain.

6. Need Of Virtual Brain
• To upload the contents
of human brain.
• To remember things
without any effort.
• To keep a person’s
intelligence/skill alive

7. Brain Simulation
Natural Brain vs. Artificial Brain
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

8. Cont’d
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

9. Cont’d
MEMORY
• Through permanent
states of neurons
MEMORY
• Through Secondary
memory

10. Uploading Human Brain
• Use of small robots
known as the Nanobots.
• Robots are small enough
to travel through out our
circulatory system.
• Provide an interface with
computer

11. Uploading Human Brain
• Monitor the activity and
structure of our central
nervous system.
• Scan the structure of our
brain.
• Provide an interface with
computer

12. Nanobots

13. Examples
• Utilization of Blue brain in
the case of “Short Term
Memory”.
• When a person gets
older,then he/she starts
forgetting.
• Great Inventory Brains
can be reused for further
inventions and expansion
of technology.

14. Current Research Work
• IBM developing the
“Blue brain” .
• Partnership with EPFL
Brain & Mind Institute.

15. Software & Hardware Requirements
• A Super computer.
• Memory with a very
large storing capacity.
• Processor with a very
high processing
power.
• Very powerful
Nanobots

16. Advantages
• Remembering things
without any efforts.
• Using the intelligence of
the person after the
death.
• For curing different
brain diseases.

17. Limitations
• Dependent upon the
computers.
• Very costly procedure of
regaining the memory
back.
• Computer viruses will
pose an increasingly
critical threat.

18. Conclusion
