What is Blue Brain Technology?
The Blue Technology is an attempt to reverse engineer the human brain and recreate it at the cellular level inside a computer simulation.
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. The simulations are carried out on a Blue Gene supercomputer built by IBM, hence the name "Blue Brain".
Actors Behind the scene
Alan Turing (1912-1954) started to build the Brain but ended up with a computer..
In 1952 , Hodgkin & Huxley published the Highly successful model of ionic currents that allowed simulation of action potential. On 1st July 2005, The Brain Mind Institute (BMI) and International
Business Machines (IBM) launched a project using IBM’s prototype Blue Gene/L Supercomputer.
Raymond Kurzweil recently provided an interesting paper on this, the use of very small robots, or nanobots.
The project was founded in May 2005 by Henry Markram at the
EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Base of the Blue Brain Technology
In the 60 years, the computation speed has gone from 1FLOPS to over 250 Trillion.
IBM built “ Deep Blue” to compete against and eventually beat
Garry kasparov at chess.
Atom are combined into molecules, the properties of these are different and eventually they are responsible for production of different genes.
Wilfred Rall realized that the complexity of the dendritic and axonal arborizations of neurons would profoundly affect neuronal processing, and developed cable theory for neurons.
