THE NEXT STEP. “Whole brain emulation (WBE) or mind uploading (sometimes called "mind copying" or "mind transfer") is the hypothetical process of copying mental content (including long-term memory and "self") from a particular brain substrate and copying it to a computational device, such as a digital, analog, quantum-based or software-based artificial neural network.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_uploading View in LinkedIn

BLIND DEDUCTION. "In just over a day, a powerful computer program accomplished a feat that took physicists centuries to complete: extrapolating the laws of motion from a pendulum's swings. Developed by Cornell researchers, the program deduced the natural laws without a shred of knowledge about physics or geometry." A confounding example of blind deduction. https://lnkd.in/d3kaQxh View in LinkedIn

CONNECTOME. "High-fidelity brain preservation is a necessary step to an eventual Human Connectome Project, understanding the circuit-level organization of human and other animal brains. Progress in connectomics, or plastinating and scanning human and other animal brains, will allow us a much deeper understanding of healthy and disordered mental behavior, and may also help create significantly more intelligent and useful computers." https://lnkd.in/dne9BZp View in LinkedIn

"THE BRAIN PRESERVATION FOUNDATION is working to develop a process to preserve the brain along with its memories, emotions and consciousness. Called chemical fixation and plastic embedding, the process involves converting the brain into plastic, carving it up into tiny slices, and then reconstructing its three-dimensional structure in a computer." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/24/stephen-hawking-brains-copied-life-after-death_n_3977682.html View in LinkedIn

THE NATURAL LIMITS. “The signal shift in the development of the digital culture is the loss of physical laws as the conclusive arbiter of action. Physical and natural laws have generally governed what was possible, and so provided limits to everything from politics to property. Hence the notion of a "reality check." https://lnkd.in/dJTgZH3 View in LinkedIn

GLOBAL FUTURE. "The conference, which is the brainchild of Russian multimillionaire Dmitry Itskov, fell somewhere between hardcore science and science fiction. It featured a diverse cast of speakers, from scientific luminaries like Ray Kurzweil, Peter Diamandis and Marvin Minsky, to Swamis and other spiritual leaders."
