The basic requirement for such a subtrate-independent mind is to implement whole brain emulation. We discuss two basic approaches to whole brain emulation. The \u201cscan and copy\u201d approach proposes we somehow scan the entire structure of our brains (at whatever scale is necessary) and store that scan until some future date when we have figured out how to us that information to build a substrate that can house your mind. The \u201cgradual replacement\u201d approach proposes we slowly replace parts of the brain with functioning alternative machines, eventually replacing the entire brain with non-biological material and yet retaining a functioning mind.<br \/> Randal and Ken are neuroscientists who understand the magnitude and challenges of a massive project like mind uploading, who also understand what we can do right now, with current technology, to advance toward that lofty goal, and who are thoughtful about what steps we need to take to enable further advancements.<\/p>\n<p>Timestamps.<br \/> 0:00 \u2014 Intro.<br \/> 6:14 \u2014 What Ken wants.<br \/> 11:22 \u2014 What Randal wants.<br \/> 22:29 \u2014 Brain preservation.<br \/> 27:18 \u2014 Aldehyde stabilized cryopreservation.<br \/> 31:51 \u2014 Scan and copy vs. gradual replacement.<br \/> 38:25 \u2014 Building a roadmap.<br \/> 49:45 \u2014 Limits of current experimental paradigms.<br \/> 53:51 \u2014 Our evolved brains.<br \/> 1:06:58 \u2014 Counterarguments.<br \/> 1:10:31 \u2014 Animal models for whole brain emulation.<br \/> 1:15:01 \u2014 Understanding vs. emulating brains.<br \/> 1:22:37 \u2014 Current challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patreon support: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/braininspired.
