When I have criticized Whole Brain Emulation in the past, I have always
said that it suffers from two critical problems:
1) The technology required to actually capture the data,
2) The problem of blind

Brains and digital computers are very different kinds of machinery.

Brains however are not nearly so sensitive to small errors, and in
some cases fairly extensive damage can be sustained without causing
the entire system to fail.
Let's face it, they're not that insensitive; some debugging
It seems highly likely that once the technology is there for
-- highly spatiotemporally detailed brain scanning
-- real-time emulation of brains on tractably expensive hardware
then we will be able to run loads and loads of experiments aimed
at creating accurate simulations of parts of the human
Have only had time to skim it, but appears to be a real resourse for info on
