Becoming immortal: The future of brain augmentation and Uploaded Consciousness
You probably already understand this concept if you have ever used a virtualized PC or played video games ROMs from an old console on your brand new computer: the mind is just software and the brain the hardware that it runs on. Imagine the day your neurons, which form your mind, will be transferred to a computer and their equivalents in your brain disabled.
Are you still you? Imagine a world of whole-brain simulation, mind uploading and a complete understanding of the connectome. Imagine neuroscientists discover a method to resurrect dead people, uploading the minds of our ancestors. Socrates and Einstein.
Scientists published a paper in Plos One, in early December. They described how they were able elicit a pattern that was similar to the condition of the brain after exposing dead tissue to electrical and chemical probes. This breakthrough was written by Nicolas Rouleau (author), Nirosha J. Murugan, Lucas W. E. Tessaro (author of the God-Helmet study), Justin N. Costa and Michael A. Persinger.
