Uploading Human Consciousness

Abstract

In this final chapter, I introduce a mind uploading process that consists of three stages—constructing a machine with neutral consciousness, connecting and integrating our own consciousness with it, and finally, transferring our memory to it. Notably, unlike other proposed methods that attempt to make digital copies of our brains, you wouldn’t need to die first and taken your brain out of your skull. It would be a totally seamless procedure. Here the first two stages are shared with the “analysis by synthesis” approach in scientifically deciphering consciousness, where the proposed new brain machine interface is the key to making it happen in the near future.
