Get Involved

If mind uploading is ever going to become a reality, there is clearly a lot of work to be done. Some of this work requires further development of technology, but much of it can begin today.

I've tentatively formed a "Mind Uploading Research Group". This is a loose collection of students and amateur or professional scientists and engineers working towards this common goal. The members act in a variety of roles:

• Readers to skim a range of journals and point out articles which might relate to uploading
• Computer scientists to develop, locate, or refine image-processing algorithms, simulation software, etc.
• Programmers to translate those algorithms into nice neat applications for a various platforms
• Physicists to keep us informed on scanner technology, ponder the possibility of quantum computing, etc.
• Neurobiologists to provide real biological data for the team to chew on
• Computational Neuroscientists to stay abreast of neural simulation techniques
• Writers to describe what's going on and disseminate information in a clear and understandable manner

If you're interested, you could serve one role or several, as you choose. If you think you might like to help, please write to me at this address:

Towards the future,
