We’re talking simulations of your mind running on a machine, and the potential to upload information from computers into your mind.
Hot shit, right? Very Johnny Mnemonic.
Anyway, the news just in is that Ray has mapped out the future as follows:
So then:
Human Brain Functional Simulation – coming 2013.
Human Brain Neural Simulation for Uploading – coming 2025.
Nuff said.
