    The document discusses the concept of a "Blue Brain" or virtual brain. It describes how a Blue Brain would function similarly to a natural human brain by taking inputs, interpreting them, and producing outputs. The document outlines how nanobots could potentially scan a person's brain and upload the neural connections to a supercomputer, allowing one's intelligence and memories to be preserved after death. While a Blue Brain may have advantages like enhanced memory, there are also disadvantages like potential computer viruses or public resistance to the technology.

    SEMINAR ON BLUE BRAIN

    Submitted by Monalin sahoo 0701219007

    CONTENTS:
    Introduction. What is Blue Brain? What is Virtual Brain? Function of Natural Brain. Advantages and Disadvantages. Hardware and Software requirements. Conclusion

    INTRODUCTION

    Human brain is the most valuable creation of GOD.The man is called intelligent because of the brain.But ,we loss the knowledge of the brain when body is destroyed after the death.
    BLUE BRAIN-the worlds first virtual brain means a machine that can function as brain. Is it really possible to create a virtual Brain?

    WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN ?

    YES, The IBM is now developing a virtual brain known as Blue Brain
    It is the first virtual brain,within 30 years,we will be able to scan ourselves into computer.

    WHAT IS VIRTUAL BRAIN ?

    A It It It It

    machine that can acts as brain. can think. can take decisions. can response. can keep things in memory.

    Why we need virtual Brain?

    To upload the contents of natural brain into it. To keep the intelligence,knowledge and skills of a person forever. To remember things without any effort.

    FUNCTIONING OF BRAIN

    Sensory Input: Receiving sound ,image etc through sensory cells. Interpretation: Interpretation of received inputs through the brain by defining the states of neurons in the brain. Moter Output: Receiving of electric responses from the brain to perform any action.

    UPLOADING HUMAN BRAIN

    The uploading is 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 computers that is as close as our mind can be while we still reside in our biological form.

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

    EXAMPLE OF BLUE BRAIN

    A very good example of blue brain is the utilization of short term memory. In some movies we might have noticed that a person might be having short term memories.

    Hardware and Software Requirements:


    A super computer. 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.

    Advantages:
    We can remember things without any effort.

    Decision can be made without the presence of a person.


    Even after the death of a man his intelligence can be used. The activity of different animals can be understood. That means by interpretation of the electric impulses from the brain of the animals, their thinking can be understood easily.

    Disadvantages:
    We become dependent upon the computer systems.

    Others may use technical knowledge against us.


    Computer viruses will pose an increasingly critical threat. The real threat, however, is the fear that people will have of technologies.

    That fear may culminate in a large resistance. Clear evidence of this type of fear is found today with respect to human cloning.

    Conclusions:
    we will be able to transfer ourselves into computers at some point. Most arguments against this outcome are seemingly easy to circumvent. They are either simple minded, or simply require further time for technology to increase. The only serious threats raised are also overcome as we note the combination of biological and digital technologies.
