Mind Emulation Foundation funds and conducts scientific research aimed at accelerating the path toward human mind emulation, focusing on connectomics and digital emulation of the mind. The foundation presents both destructive and non-destructive approaches to mapping and emulating the connectome and advocates democratizing access to mind emulation research.
The organization finances and conducts scientific research on mind emulation, connectomics, and related technologies. It discusses two approaches to mind emulation: destructive scanning (preserve, store, scan connectome at high resolution, reconstruct a digital emulation) and non-destructive scanning (high-resolution MRI-like methods to map the connectome in a living being). It envisions digital interaction via text interfaces or robotic avatars once emulation is achieved, and promotes ongoing funding and research through its manifesto and fundraising activities.
Who it’s for: Researchers in neuroscience and connectomics, biotechnologists, longevity and transhumanist communities, philanthropy and science funders, individuals interested in mind preservation after death
