Abstract
Blue brain is a supercomputer programmed such that it can function as an artificial brain, which can also be called a virtual brain. IBM is developing this virtual brain which would be the world’s first such created machine. Its main aim is to create a machine in which the information of the actual brain can be uploaded. This would ensure that a person’s knowledge, personality, memories, and intelligence are preserved and safe. The Blue Brain project utilizes the technologies of reverse engineering and artificial intelligence at its core and is implemented through the use of supercomputers and nanobots. Special software like BBP-SDK are also specifically developed for the Blue Brain project. The Blue Brain project is centered towards finding viable solutions to brain disorders, a working model close to the actual brain which would help in greater understanding of the human brain and the human mind and the state of consciousness, a step towards building an independently thinking machine, and finally collecting information of hundreds of years from the human brains and storing it in the form of a databases. The Blue Brain project mimics the human brain by acquiring the data from its surrounding through special software, interpreting through neural electrophysiology and morphology, and simulating them on computers. Thus, The Blue Brain project is a powerful tool for the study and analysis of the human brain and for the advancement of the human brain and society.
Highlights
The Blue Brain project is an artificial brain project which attempts to solve the mysteries of the human brain by employing the concept of reverse engineering so as to recreate the human brain at the cellular level in a computer simulation
The Blue Brain, once fully developed, would be able to think like a human brain, and take decisions based on data and experiences of the past, and respond like an actual brain does
BBP-SDK: BBP-SDK stands for Blue Brain Project-Software Development Kit and it is a set of software classes or APIS that is used by researchers for inspecting models and simulations
Summary
One of the main focuses of the Blue Brain technology is storing the intellect, knowledge and personality of a human being in a digital form. Research has already been started towards creating these minute machines which will be around the size of a nanometre, and even though a fully operational bot is claimed to be available only by 2030, prototypes have already been developed and are partially functioning [8] These nanobots, by entering the human circulatory system and travelling to the spine and the brain, will achieve the ability to monitor the activity and structure of the central nervous system [5]. Nanobots can give a complete scan of the structure of the brain and its activity with comprehensive readout of the connections in the brain Once this information is uploaded in the computer it begins to function as the natural brain and becomes a substitute of our personality, i.e., the entire data in the natural brain is uploaded in the virtual brain’s machine
