| In a special Issue on Mind Uploading, the International Journal of Machine Consciousness, has released the first-ever collection of scientific and philosophical papers on the theme of mind uploading. This milestone is a significant milestone in bringing the real science behind uploading into the academic mainstream. |
“Mind uploading” is an informal term that refers to transferring the mental contents from a human brain into a different substrate, such as a digital, analog, or quantum computer. It’s also known as “whole brain emulation” and “substrate-independent minds.”
Serious mind uploading researchers have emerged recently, taking this seemingly science-fictional notion seriously and pursuing it via experimental and theoretical research programs.
For example, Neuroscientist Randal A. Koene (a contributor of two papers to this volume) has formed a nonprofit organization called Carbon Copies (carboncopies.org) to promote mind uploading research.
At the request of KurzweilAI, the publishers have made both the Introduction and the first paper by Koene, Fundamentals Of Whole Brain Emulation: State, Transition And Update Representations, open access, available in full text on the International Journal of Machine Consciousness website.
Editor Ben Goertzel has also gathered links to informal, “preprint” versions of the papers in this Special Issue, hosted on the paper authors’ websites (below). These preprint versions are not guaranteed to be identical to the final published versions, but the content should be essentially the same, he advises.
