€1 BILLION "Human Brain Project: Henry Markram plans to spend €1bn building a perfect model of the human brain. "It's going to be the Higgs boson of the brain, a Noah's archive of the mind." thanks to the largesse of the European Union, which awarded Markram €1bn last year to make his dream a reality, many of those naysayers are being forced to take him seriously." https://lnkd.in/dqsuPBB View in LinkedIn

EXPONENTIAL SPEED. "When he started five years ago...the technique was so slow it would have taken several centuries to generate images for a cubic millimeter of brain—about one thousandth the size of a mouse brain and a millionth the size of a human one. Now Lichtman can do a cubic millimeter every couple of years. This summer, a new microscope will reduce the timeline to a couple of weeks. An army of such machines, he says, could put an entire human brain within reach." http://www.popsci.com/article/science/neuroscientist-who-wants-upload-humanity-computer View in LinkedIn

UPLOADED WORM. "How far away are we from uploading the first mind? A worm's mind has already been uploaded, but their brains work in a very different way to mammals. But, in ten years, I think it'll be possible to upload the mind of a fruit fly. From thereon, the human brain is a little hard to predict, but I really hope it will be in my lifetime." http://www.vice.com/read/randal-koene-brain-uploading-438 View in LinkedIn

A FEW LITTLE PREDICTIONS. "The progress of biology, neuroscience and computer science makes it clear that some time during the twenty-first century we will master the technologies of mind and life. We will build machines more intelligent than ourselves, and modify our own brains and bodies to increase our intelligence, live indefinitely and make other changes." (Bill Hibbard). https://lnkd.in/d3NdcHS View in LinkedIn

MEMORIES. "Canadian psychologist Donald Hebb suggested that memories are nothing more than associations encoded in a network. In the brain, those associations are formed by neurons firing simultaneously or in sequence." http://www.popsci.com/article/science/neuroscientist-who-wants-upload-humanity-computer View in LinkedIn

EXTANT TOOLS. "According to supporters, many of the tools and ideas needed to achieve mind uploading already exist or are currently under active development; however, they will admit that others are, as yet, very speculative, but still in the realm of engineering possibility." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_uploading View in LinkedIn

SECOND METHOD. "The simulated mind could be within a virtual reality or simulated world, supported by an anatomic 3D body simulation model. Alternatively, the simulated mind could reside in a computer that's inside (or connected to) a humanoid robot or a biological body." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_uploading View in LinkedIn
