"WIRING DIAGRAMS link lifestyle to brain function. Human Connectome Project finds surprising correlations between brain architecture and behavioural or demographic influences. "You can distinguish people with successful traits and successful lives versus those who are not so successful." https://lnkd.in/deBiskD View in LinkedIn

BLUE BRAIN PROJECT at Swizerland's EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) was launched in 2005 and aims to reverse engineer the mammalian brain from laboratory data.” https://lnkd.in/dQEQUkh View in LinkedIn

"GENETIC ANALYSES will be based on DNA extracted from blood samples acquired at the time of each subject’s visit. Genotyping will be carried out in the final year of the project, for reasons of consistency (using a single platform), and also to obtain the greatest amount of data, given anticipated declines in price per sample."

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

"KEN HAYWORTH, President of the Brain Preservation Foundation, dreams of a merger of human and machine consciousness. Randal Koene, of carboncopies.org shares similar thinking." http://carboncopies.org View in LinkedIn

CARBONCOPIES, INC. "A San Francisco inventor has revealed plans for a system to upload his brain to a computer. He hopes to be able to replicate the human brain as a mechanical system. By mapping the brain, reducing its activity to computations, and reproducing those computations in code, Koene argued, humans could live indefinitely, emulated by silicon."When I say emulation, you should think of it, for example, in the same sense as emulating a Macintosh on a PC," a platform-independent code.” (2014). https://lnkd.in/d3gNJBJ View in LinkedIn
