Replace my brain, then drain

Accelerating Future » What is uploading?

One of the coolest ideas for uploading your brain to a computer. Slowly replace all neurons with neuron-sized robots until your entire brain is composed of them. Then the neurons can create a perfect map of your brain and thought patterns.

Ideas like this make me really think about the nature of being human, as I am not as decided as some. If this could work, then “we” really are just the aberration of the functions of our brain. Good or bad? Does it matter? Does that change who we really are? I guess a better question is: Is the definition of ourselves something from within or from without?

Stuff to ponder…
