The human brain is the most important and complex part of our body. It controls our muscles and gives us the ability to think, create ideas, and act. The neurons present in the brain store the information of events that happened with us. We, humans, are said to be "intelligent" because of our brains. But when our body decays with time we tend to lose our memory and intelligence, so here comes the concept of the Blue Brain. It is a Virtual Brain that uses a supercomputer called "Blue Gene". It basically functions as a Human Brain. Its main function is to create a connection between the human brain and the artificial Brain. As the Life span of human beings is limited this invention is done to understand human feelings, knowledge, ideas, memories, dreams of a person, and that could be downloaded/extracted and can be used for different purposes. Neurological diseases can be cured by this technology.

Human brain is the most valuable creation of God. The man is intelligent because of the brain. “Blue brain” is the name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine can function as human brain. Today scientists are in research to create an artificial brain that can think, response, 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.

Alan Turing started off by wanting to "build the brain" and ended up with a computer. In the 60 years that have followed, computation speed has gone from 1 floating point operation per second (FLOPS) to over 250 trillion -by far the largest man-made growth rate of any kind in the ~10,000 years of human civilization. This is a mere blink of an eye, a single generation, in the 5 million years of human evolution and billions of years of organic life. What will the future hold -in the next 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years? These immense calcu lation speeds have revolutionized science, technology and medicine in numerous and profound ways. In particular, it is becoming increasingly possible to simulate some of nature's most intimate processes with exquisite accuracy, from atomic reactions to the folding of a single protein, gene networks, molecular interactions, the opening of an ion channel on the surface of a cell, and the detailed activity of a single neuron. As calculation speeds approach and go beyond the petaFLOPS range, it is becoming feasible to make the next series of quantum leaps to simulating networks of neurons, brain regions and, eventually, the whole brain. Turing may, after all, have provided the means by which to build the brain.

What is it that differentiates man and puts him on the throne of the entire animal kingdom? Yes, it's the human brain, and not the human, which is the most valuable creation of God. But the brain, all its knowledge and power are destroyed after the death of man. Is it possible to model a brain and upload the contents of the real natural brain into it thereby propagating life even after death? Yes, indeed. Today, organ donation is giving a new lease of life to many ailing patients; however can brain be added to the list of organs that can be donated? Imagine the marvels that would be back into existence if we could replicate and restore the brains of geniuses like Sir Albert Einstein or Newton or even our great leaders of the past like Mahatma Gandhi. This paper presents a literature survey on the Blue Brain technology that promptly answers all these sparkling questions. Scientists today are in research to take artificial intelligence to a level beyond everything, to create a virtual brain that could think, react, make decisions and also keep everything in some form of memory to do everything that a normal human brain can. To achieve this, the main approach is to upload an actual brain in a virtual brain. So that even after death the person's conscience would be able to function exactly as a normal brain in the form of a machine. IBM along with scientists at BMI (Brain and Mind Institute) École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Research University in Switzerland are simulating the brain's biological systems into a 3D model, which would recreate the electrochemical interactions that take place inside the brain. If this simulation results in a success, the modeling would extend to different parts of the brain and make it function with all the abilities of a natural brain, thereby eliminating the chances of any brain malfunctions such as psychiatric disorders like depression and autism, which are possible in the normal brain. IBM names this project as the 'Blue Brain' project.

Visualize a world where humans interact with computers. It sounds to be a hallucination, but it is possible by "BLUE EYES TECHNOLOGY" in the immediate future. The main reason for making Blue eyes technology successful is to make computers observe and records the user's conscious brain and their physiological condition. This technology can understand our emotion at the touch of sensing gadgets; it authenticates one's identity, feels one's presence, starts interacting with them and extracts key information.
A man becomes intelligent because of brain. It is complex than any other circuits in the world. Understanding the human brain is one of the greatest challenges facing 21 st century scientist. Today scientists are in a research to create an artificial brain that can think, take decision and keep anything in memory at any time .The main aim of this paper is to describe and upload human brain into machine [11]. IBM's Blue Gene supercomputer allows a quantum leap in the level of detail at which the brain can be modeled. Blue Brain is the world's first virtual brain, which means machine can function as human brain. After the death of the body, the virtual brain will act as the man [6].So, even after the death of 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 [9]. In this paper, we present the complete research work which explains the concept and functioning model of blue brain and the recent research and developments in the process.
Blue brain is a Virtual Brain it is the creation of synthetic brain by reverse engineering and recreates it at the cellular level inside a computer simulation. The concept of blue brain founded in May 2005 by Henry Markram at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland. The aim of the project to gain a complete understanding of the brain and to enable better and faster development of brain disease treatments. No one can ever understand the complexity of human brain. It is more complex than any circuitry in the world. The scientists today are in research to create an artificial brain that can think, respond, take decision, and keep everything in memory. After the death of the body, we will not lose knowledge, intelligence, feelings and memory of that man and can be used for the welfare of human society.
Man is intelligent because of the brain. But the brain, all its knowledge, and power are destroyed after the death of the man. BLUE BRAIN, The name of the world's first virtual brain that means a machine that functions like a human brain. It can think. It can take a decision. It can response. It can store things in memory. 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. In this paper, we concentrate on the application of Blue Brain for "Cracking Neural Code" as well as the use of Blue Brain in "Human memory loss". The neural code refers to how the human brain builds images using electrical patterns and cracking the neural code means finding the patterns and meaning in the noisy activity of the cell ensembles. Human memory loss includes conditions like 'Alzheimer' and 'short-term memory loss'.
