Simulating human
brain by reverse
engineering &
combining biological
studies to digital
technology using
concept of Artificial
Neural Network
(ANN)

The uploading is possible by
the use of small robots known
as the NANOBOTS.
These robots are small enough
to travel throughout our
circulatory system.
Will monitor activity of brain
by traveling into the spine and
brain
They will provide an interface
with computer .

The hardware & software required to build a
Blue Brain
8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz each of which can map
one or two simulated brain neurons
256MB to 512MB memory per processor.
100 kilowatts power consumption.
Processor with a very high processing power.
22.8 TFLOPS peak processing speed.
Linux and C++ software.

Blue Brain will reveal many
existing aspects of the brain
circuits ,memory capacity , and
how memories are lost.
The modelling is also able to
work out best way to
compensate and repair error
circuits .The blue brain model
can be used to detect and test
treatment strategies for
neurological diseases.

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.
Improvements in processing speed and
memory could make entire human
brain simulated.
The activity of different animals can
be understood.
Help deaf and mad people
14
We become dependent upon the computer
systems.
Others may use technical knowledge against us.
Computer viruses will pose an increasingly
critical threat.
Possibilities of human cloning.
If in future surrogates to humans are developed
then, there will be no human interaction and the
world will run on computers only.

Prosthetic devices to restore vision, hearing or
limb control might be the next step.
Further in the future, the real dreams would be
the realization of the brain-in-computer and
chip-in-brain arrangement.
Creating Surrogates
This is just blink of an eyetheres lot more to
come
17
Very soon this technology will be
highly accepted whole over the
world but wisdom lies in right use.
Technology does not create Brain
but Brain creates Technology
We will be able to transfer
ourselves into computers at some
point & this is just the
beginning..!
