That is a refreshing perspective.

We are not claiming they are entirely independent, quite the contrary. The mind is an emergent property of the body. Just like music is an emergent property of sound waves.

Correct, in order to emulate a mind we might need to include that as well so that is in scope.

That is one reason why I was very careful to name this the Mind Emulation Foundation and not the Brain Emulation Foundation. I also use the word 'body' instead of 'brain' throughout and define a connectome as: the compre

The y-axis is logarithmic so it’s actually representing exponential improvements which is a fair upper-bound assumption given the rate of improvement in cost to map a human genome was better than exponential.

With a sufficiently robust representation of the connectome including its spatial orientation one can also emulate the electrophysiology.

When you wake up in the morning billions of your cells have changed from the night before. Are you any less you? It is possible one day you will go to sleep biologically and wake up non-biologically. It’s just a matter of sufficiently emula

I’ve posed this claim to dozens of neuroscientists. If you consider the connectome just the static connections then you might be right. If you include the dynamics of the brain (the biochemical processes) as part of the connectome then most

You make a great point and I should have done a better job defending my vilification of the ICE agents. They violated his rights by even entering his home without a warrant. Not only that but as a student and being married to a citizen, he
