INTRODUCTION
Human brain is the most valuable creation of God. The man is called intelligent because of the brain. The brain translates the information delivered by the impulses, which then enables the person to react. But we loss the knowledge of a brain when the body is destroyed after the death of man. That knowledge might have been used for the development of the human society. In this technology we create a brain and up load the contents of natural brain into it.
Blue Brain
Blue Brain is the name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Today scientists are in research to create an artificial brain that can think, respond, take decision, 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 virtual brain will act as the man. So, even after the death of a person we will not lose the knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of that man that can be used for the development of the human society.
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. With in 30 years, we will be able to scan ourselves into the computers.
What is Virtual Brain?
Virtual brain is an artificial brain, which is not actually the natural brain, but can act as the brain. It can think like brain, take decisions based on the past experience, and respond as the natural brain can. It is possible by using a super computer, with a huge amount of storage capacity, 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. So the brain and the knowledge, intelligence of anyone can be kept and used for ever, even after the death of the person.
Why we need Virtual Brain?
Today we are developed because of our intelligence. Intelligence is the inborn quality that can not be created. Some people have this quality, so that they can think up to such an extent where other cannot reach. Human society is always in need of such intelligence and such an intelligent brain to have with. But the intelligence is lost along with the body after the death. The virtual brain is a solution to it. The brain and intelligence will be alive even after the death.
How it is possible?
First, it is helpful to describe the basic manners in which a person may be uploaded into a computer. Raymond Kurzweil recently provided an interesting paper on this topic. In it, he describes both invasive and noninvasive techniques. The most promising is the use of very small robots, or nanobots. These robots will be small enough to travel throughout our circulatory systems. Travelling 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 between 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 a computer with large enough storage space and processing power. Note, however, that we need not know how the brain actually functions, to transfer it to a computer. For this we have to first know how the human brain actually works.
WORKING OF NATURAL BRAIN
Getting to know more about Human Brain
The brain essentially serves as the body’s information processing centre. It receives signals from sensory neurons (nerve cell bodies and their axons and dendrites) in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and in response it generates and sends new signals that instruct the corresponding parts of the body to move or react in some way. It also integrates signals received from the body with signals from adjacent areas of the brain, giving rise to perception and consciousness. The brain weighs about 1,500 grams (3 pounds) and constitutes about 2 percent of total body weight. It consists of three major divisions;
• The massive paired hemispheres of the cerebrum
• The brainstem, consisting of the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus, subtha-lamus, midbrain, and medulla oblongata
• The cerebellum.
The human ability to feel, interpret and even see is controlled, in computer like calculations, by the magical nervous system. The nervous system is quite like magic because we can’t see it, but its working through electric impulses through your body. One of the worlds most “intricately organized” electron mechanisms is the nervous system. Not even engineers have come close to making circuit boards and computers as delicate and precise as the nervous system. To understand this system, one has to know the three simple functions that it puts into action; sensory input, integration & motor output.
Sensory Input
When our eyes see something or our hands touch a warm surface, the sensory cells, also known as Neurons, send a message straight to your brain. This action of getting information from your surrounding environment is called sensory input because we are putting things in your brain by way of your senses.
