how nanobots are used in blue brain technology
The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to reverse engineer the human brain and recreate it at the cellular level inside a computer simulation. The project was founded in May 2005 by Henry Markram at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. Goals of the project are to gain a complete understanding of the brain and to enable better and faster development of brain disease treatments.

Functioning of Natural 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 .
In response it generates and sends new signals that instruct the corresponding parts of the body to move or react in someway.
Functioning of Blue Brain:
Possible by the use of small robots known as nanobots.
These robots will be small enough to travel throughout our circulatory system.
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 scan the structure of our brain, providing a complete readout of the connections between each neuron.
They will be able to provide an interface with computer. Thus data stored in brain will be uploaded to computer
Hardware and Software Requirements:
Processor with a very high processing power.
8,096 CPUs at 700 MHz . The Blue Brain has some 8000 processors which map one or more neurons to each processor, making a computer a replica of 10,000 neurons.
Linux and c++ software
100 kilowatts power consumption
A wide area network.
Program to convert electrical impulse s from brain into input signals.
Large memory with high storage capacity(256 MB to 512 MB memory per processor).
Very powerful Nanobots to act as the interface between the natural brain and computer.
A Super computer(Blue Gene).
Uses of BLUE BRAIN
In case of Short Term Memory loss .
Another situation is that when a person gets older, then he starts forgetting to takes a bit more time to recognize a person.
Great inventory brains can be reused for further inventions (like Newton and Einstein).
Diseases like Alzheimer, Parkinson s can be treated.
For these reasons we need a blue brain. It is a simple chip that can be installed into the human brain for which the short term memory loss and a volatile memory at old age can be avoided.
The research involves studying slices of living brain tissue using microscopes and patch clamp electrodes. Data is collected about all the many different neuron types. This data is used to build biologically realistic models of neurons and networks of neurons in the cerebral cortex. The simulations are carried out on a Blue Gene supercomputer built by IBM. Hence the name Blue Brain . The simulation software is based around Michael Hines s NEURON, together with other custom-built components.
ABSTRACT:
Blue brain is world's first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. 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 loose the knowledge, intelligence, personalities, feelings and memories of that man can be used for the development of the human society. The virtual brain is created by usingNanobots
.These robots are small enoughto travel throughout our circulatory system.
