1.1 Blue Brain: 1.2 What Is Virtual Brain?

The document discusses the possibility of creating a "virtual brain" or artificial brain that could function like a human brain. It describes research by IBM to create a "Blue Brain" within 30 years that could upload a person's brain contents and intelligence into a computer system. This would allow a person's knowledge and thinking to continue even after death through the virtual brain. The key would be using nanobots or robots small enough to map out the connections between all neurons in a person's brain and transfer that information to a powerful computer that could emulate brain functions. This virtual brain could help address issues like memory loss and allow intelligence to continue benefiting society beyond a person's lifespan.

1INTRODUCTION Human brain is the most valuable creation of God. The man is called intelligent because of thebrain.

The brain translates the information delivered by the impulses, which then enables theperson to react. But we loss the knowledge of a brain when the body is destroyed after the deathof man. That knowledge might have been used for the development of the human society. Whathappen if we create a brain and up load the contents of natural brain into it?

1.1 Blue Brain


The name of the worlds first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as humanbrain. Today scientists are in research to create an artificial brain that can think, response, takedecision, and keep anything in memory. The main aim is to upload human brain into machine.So that man can think, take decision without any effort. After the death of the body, the virtualbrain will act as the man .So, even after the death of a person we will not loose the knowledge,intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of that man that can be used for thedevelopment of the human society. No one has ever understood the complexity of human brain.It is complex than any circuitry in the world. So, question may arise Is it really possible tocreate a human brain? The answer is Yes. Because whatever man has created today always hehas followed the nature. When man does not have a device called computer, it was a big questionfor all. Technology is growing faster than everything. IBM is now in research to create a virtual brain, called Blue brain. If possible, this would be the first virtual brain of the world. Within30 years, we will be able to scan ourselves in to the computers. Is this the beginning of eternallife?

1.2 What is Virtual Brain?


Virtual brain is an artificial brain, which does not actually the natural brain, but can act as thebrain. It can think like brain, take decisions based on the past experience, and response as thenatural brain can. It is possible by using a super computer, with a huge amount of storagecapacity, processing power and an interface between the human brain and this artificial one.Through this interface the data stored in the natural brain can be up loaded into the computer. Sothe brain and the knowledge, intelligence of anyone can be kept and used for ever, even after thedeath of the person.

1.3 Why we need Virtual Brain?


Today we are developed because of our intelligence. Intelligence is the inborn quality that cannotbe created. Some people have this quality, so that they can think up to such an extent where othercannot reach. Human society is always need of such intelligence and such an intelligent brain tohave with. But the intelligence is lost along with the body after the death. The virtual brain is asolution to it. The brain and intelligence will alive even after the death. We often face difficulties in remembering things such as peoples names, their birthdays, and the spellings of words, proper grammar, important dates, history, facts etc... In the busy life every one want to be relaxed. Cant we use any machine to assist for all these? Virtual brain may be the solution to it. What if we upload ourselves into computer, we were simply aware of a computer, or maybe,what if we lived in a computer as a program?

1.4 How it is possible?


First, it is helpful to describe the basic manners in which a person may be uploaded into acomputer. Raymond Kurzweil recently provided an interesting paper on this topic. In it, hedescribes both invasive and noninvasive techniques. The most promising is the use of very smallrobots, or nanobots. These robots will be small enough to travel throughout our circulatorysystems. Traveling into the spine and brain, they will be able to monitor the activity and structureof our central nervous system. They will be able to provide an interface with computers that is asclose as our mind can be while we still reside in our biological form. Nanobots could alsocarefully scan the structure of our brain, providing a complete readout of the connectionsbetween each neuron. They would also record the current state of the brain. This information,when entered into a computer, could then continue to function as us. All that is required is acomputer with large enough storage space and processing power. Is the pattern and state of neuron connections in our brain truly all that makes up our conscious selves? Many peoplebelieve firmly those we possess a soul, while some very technical people believe that quantumforces contribute to our awareness. But we have to now think technically. Note, however, that weneed not know how the brain actually functions, to transfer it to a computer. We need only knowthe media and contents.
