We make neuroscience accessible to anyone interested in learning about the brain. Delve into the mind via stories, infographics, interviews, and more!
In a brand new episode of the Knowing Neurons podcast, we explore the concept of "mind uploading". How would something like a mind upload really work? How close are we to uploading our brains right now? What kind of ethical, social, and legal challenges would it bring up? We investigate with special guests Dr. Adrienne Fairhall, Dr. Rafael Yuste, and Dr. Randal Koene. Resources and a transcript for this episode can be found on http://knowingneurons.com.
