Mind Uploading
A technological concept of reproducing whole-brain structural and functional data on a non-biological substrate as an equivalent computational model. It involves philosophical debate concerning identity and continuity of consciousness.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Mind uploading is also called "whole brain emulation" in academic contexts, and its technical premise is to first acquire whole-brain structural and functional data at nanometer resolution, then reproduce it on a non-biological substrate with an equivalent computational model.
University of Oxford philosophers Nick Bostrom and Anders Sandberg once systematically evaluated the feasibility of the mind uploading path, believing that its bottlenecks lie mainly in imaging throughput and computational scale.
Currently no experiment can determine whether a mind-uploading copy possesses subjective experience, so this disagreement falls more within the domain of metaphysics rather than empirical science.
Connectomics and cryopreservation already have substantial research accumulation, mind uploading still remains at the theoretical level, and "rejecting individual boundaries" belongs more to a philosophical stance.
