BLUE BRAIN: ANALYTIC STUDY

The Blue Brain Project (BBR) is the first project of its kind where the brain is going to be simulated on the computer so that some of the brain’s functions and dysfunctions could be understood better. In 2005 IBM started new project that would recreate human brain by using IBM’s Blue Gene supercomputer. At the end of the developing, it would be able to act like the brain. Blue Brain will provide a huge leap in our understanding of brain function and dysfunction and help us explore solutions to intractable problems in mental health and neurological disease. Detailed biologically accurate brain simulations offer the opportunity to answer some fundamental questions about the brain that cannot be addressed with any current experimental or theoretical approaches, These include: Completing a puzzle, Understanding complexity, Exploring the role of dendrites, Revealing functional diversity, Understanding memory storage and retrieval, Tracking the emergence of intelligence, Simulating disease and developing treatments, Providing a circuit design platform.
