The Blue Brain project is the first com-prehensive attempt to reverse-engineer the mammalian brain, in order to understand brain function and dysfunction through detailed supercomputer-based reconstruc-tions and simulations. The project aims to build comprehensive digital reconstruc-tions of the brain which can be used to study the nature of the brain. This, in turn, helps in understanding how human beings process emotions, thoughts, and gives us deeper insight into the decision making power of the human brain.

BlueBrainTechnology

The blue brain project (BPP) makes use of the Blue Gene supercomputer developed by IBM to carry out simula-tions. Hence the project is named the “Blue Brain“. The project was founded by Henry Markram at the École Poly-technique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland way back in May 2005. EPFL is a research institute that specializes in natural sci-ences and engineering.

The human brain is a complex system

consisting of recursive connectors. It is

more complex than any circuitry in the

world. The world of technology has

expanded in areas like humanoid robots,

computing, virtual reality, wearable de-

vices, Artificial Intelligence, Digital jew-

elry, Blue Eyes Technology, Brain Gate

Technology and so much more at a rapid

rate. A full human brain simulation (100

billion neurons) is planned to be com-

pleted by 2023 if everything goes well.

If so, this would be the first virtual brain

of the world.

A USB flash drive is a data storage device that consists of flash memory with an integrated Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. A Cloud Storage is also a similar case where in the data is stored remotely and is accessed whenever needed. But a drawback of this USB flash drives is it’s small size cause of which it can easily be mis-placed or lost. This is a particular problem if the data it contains is sensi-tive and confidential. In Cloud Storag-es the data can be stolen or misused if the username and password of an ac-count to access the storage is hacked by someone.

There are many more drawbacks like limited storage, no security, back up, temp files, no remote disable etc. iTwin is a 'limitless' secure USB device that enables users to access, edit & share all their files & media be-tween any two online computers any-where in the world. The only limit is the size of your computer’s hard drive. iT-win is an innovative solution that allows remote file access without the security and privacy risks of the cloud and USB flash drives. It’s very easy to access as a USB device and no special installation is required. iTwin uses thoroughly ana-lyzed crypto protocols and algorithms(AES 256 bit encryption). It has features like bi-directional file access, no temp files, remote disable, smart key genera-tion, password support and twintrust authentication
