Title: Need serious help with human brain ?
Post by: Username on 23/09/2014 01:55:32
So I am new here looking for a science form and I have 2 questions on the human brain

1. On mind uploading how will this work will work ?  Would you upload your mind like into a super desktop. What would happen to your sexuality ? Your memories ? Your thoughts ? could you leave any part of your mind you chose behind ? How would this work where would you awake ? Would it be like VR ?

2. Does optogenetic server, rearrange, and rewire the synaptic formations of the brain ?

If you upload your brain, are you sure that your consciousness (the sentience that is the real you, assuming that it is real) will be preserved? You could copy all your memories to a machine and then have yourself killed if you like, but the machine will be rather like a diary, documenting the person you were before you were killed.

The brain is capable of doing two things accumulating the data and processing, This two is absolutely possible with a super computer, But you cant expect it to do everything in the same way as you did. also that will live long as well the hardware working fine (never die).  so they never need a sexuality thing. It can produce a similar kind of machines
