Scientists are exploring the theoretical and practical challenges of uploading a human brain, a concept that sparks different reactions on the East and West coasts of the United States. Davy Deng, a Harvard-MIT candidate, outlined the problem as defining what data constitutes a mind, measuring that data, and then making it run on a new substrate. Deng suggested that studying simpler organisms like the roundworm C. elegans, with its fully mapped 302-neuron nervous system, could provide insights into the complexities of brain uploading. AI
