HUMAN BRAIN
It gets deceases which leads to death…
Short term memory Memory power decreases with age
increasing…
BLUE BRAIN PROJECT
When?
Why the name BLUE BRAIN ?
What is the purpose ?
AIM To gain a complete
understanding of the brain and to enable better and faster
development of brain disease treatments.
VIRTUAL BRAIN
Virtual brain is an artificial brain, which can act as the human brain.Intelligence is the inborn quality that cannot be created.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?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE
??
NanobotsWe only know the media and contents.
Methods
Invasive Non-invasive
BUILDING A VIRTUAL BRAIN
DATA ACQUISITION
DATA SIMULATION
DATA VISUALIZATION
DATA ACQUISITION
DATA SIMULATION The primary software used –NEURON
Workflow :: -Emergent properties are seen that require larger and larger networks. -To build a generalized simulation tool, - To couple the brain simulations to all environments -To be able to understand and reproduce human consciousness.
BBK-SDK
Example NEURON cell builder window
DATA VISUALIZATION
RTNeuron :: the primary application for visualization of neural simulations.
RTNeuron takes the output from other simulations and renders them into 3D.
Multi scaled visualizations rendering individual neurons of a whole cortical column. RTNeuron visualization of a
neuron
COMPUTER HARDWARE OR
SUPERCOMPUTERS Blue Gene Supercomputer Commodity PC Clusters JuQUEEN Supercomputers DEEP exascale computers
Blue Gene
Blue Gene/P technical specifications:
4,096 quad-core nodes (16,384 cores in total)
Total: 56 teraflops, 16 terabytes of memory 4 racks, GPFS parallel file system
Operating system: Linux SuSE SLES 10
Public front end:bluegene.epfl.ch and processing log
When and by whom?
Presently ranked above 500
Commodity PC Clusters
Specifications:
11 node cluster, 3.47 GHz processors (Intel Xeon X5690)
24 GB RAM, 3 Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 GPUs
Full-HD passive stereo display connected to two GPUs on head node
Visualization purpose
JuQUEEN Supercomputer
Current performance ~ 1.6 petaflops
World's 8th fastest supercomputer.
Aims to develop a three-dimensional, realistic model of the human brain.
JuQUEEN supercomputer in Germany
DEEP Supercomputer
Exascale supercomputer
100 petaflopsWill be built using Intel
MIC1 exaflops of
performance required for a complete human brain simulation
DEEP cluster-booster architecture
ADVANTAGES
Remembering things without effort.
Using intelligence beyond life.
Making decisions without the presence of a person.
Animals thoughts can also be analyzed.
It would allow the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation, and also be helpful for many psychological diseases.
DISADVANTAGES
More 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 new technologies.
