Ever wanted to download a copy of your own brain? Say you went through a serious car crash, for example—wouldn't it be nice to take out your damaged brain and replace it with a replica you'd downloaded and stashed away prior to the accident? Or perhaps over time you could even build a collection of brains, each storing different memories, thoughts, and dreams that would equate, in a sense, to different versions of you? Something like that might come in handy when you're trying to throw off various neuroses, like a fear of asking out hot people or an anxiety about bungee ropes, or a reluctance to believe that scientists could one day pull something like this off.There are people trying to make this a reality. Last month, a Japanese supercomputer managed to simulate one second of human brain activity; last summer, some German scientists unveiled a remarkably high-res 3D digital model of the human brain; and last April, the Obama administration announced the BRAIN Initiative, a research endeavour projected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars and take over a decade to complete. Its humble goal? To map every single one of the tens of billions of neurons in the human brain, creating a "connectome"—a comprehensive diagram of the brain's neural connections.Theoretically, a complete connectome of an individual's brain would constitute a copy of the pathways between every memory, thought, and experience that person had ever had. The implications of this kind of precise knowledge of a brain are far-reaching, but at this point still largely speculative.Current procedures for brain imaging on a micro level tend to be incredibly time-consuming, costly, and require the destruction (via slicing and/or dyeing) of the brain being studied. But with the freakish, robotic march of progress, the technology required is being built and improved upon, and some futurists suggest that humans will be able to download and store copies of their brains within the next two decades. Naturally, labs the world over want to get there first, but I couldn't find many that are already trying to sell the tech to you.One I did find is Brain Backups. Headed up by 32-year-old Russell Hanson, the neuroinformatics startup based out of Cambridge, Massachusetts, aims to map human brains without destroying them. While other research groups are being formed and funded through government grants, Brain Backups hopes to crowdsource a great deal of its research costs by offering the future storage of all your neurons and synapses. I gave Russell a call to find out his thoughts on the matter.Read More plus See Photos @ http://m.vice.com/read/big-brain-connectome-interview

  • I wouldn't download My brain since when this body dies I intend to let it stay that way and if only the brain goes I've instructed my relatives to cut the food but not the water and then let me die.

    But I'd like to copy the memories of some kids in Pakistan who have died in drone attacks and then I want to implant those memories into those who think drones are a good idea. It should teach them a thing or two about the reality they are currently supporting. ;)

  • Keep trying but if they do manage it would be helpful for those who are involved in an incident where their brain is damaged and a replica brain is replaced so the person is the same as in the case of German Racing Driver Michael Schumacher who recently injured his brain in a skiing accident and is still in a coma .
  • In most cases the computer might crack up as most human brains is full of disinformation
    • A computer only counts. It doesn't care WHAT it is it counts for as long as it can be counted, so .. It won't crack up. :)

  • The problem is you might become BONKERS
    • Yea, what if the higher reasoning gets replaced by mathematical reasoning due to the computerized storage? ;)

      Mathematical reasoning is very unforgiving and have no feelings at all so that'd make you a perfect monster in notime. :)

    •  .. too late for that .. I think we were all born a bit bonkers .. Lol ..

      • Well they say humans use only less then 10% of their brains so humans are nearly 90% Bonkers
