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 lose 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. What happen if we create a brain and upload the contents of natural
brain into it?
This BLUE BRAIN 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. 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 on Michael Hines's NEURON, together with
other custom-built components.
