The new goal is to create a full size machine brain entirely capable of retaining and executing an uploaded human brain, as a replacement for a human brain in the quest for a better life, extended life and immortality.
Although Big Brain Technologies is setting world records with the 21st Century Man - the conversion to a Transhuman part man and part machine, the organization is looking forward to the next big push in brain technologies.
It now appears the most massive project will be the final leg in the race to create a full machine brain, one designated as a receptacle for the transference and conversion of a biological human brain. In order to transfer a human brain into a machine brain successfully, the entire human brain must be decoded. This massive project has numerous sub-projects to realize the final goal.
It must be possible to interface with the human brain and snapshot it, taking frozen instant polaroid-like images of all parameters in an instant. In the next subproject, the human brain must be decoded to a point where thinking, thoughts, and dreams can be recorded and played back on the machine brain. In all likelihood, the Big Brain machine is the best candidate from a vast component and capability perspective to volunteer as the machine brain receptacle for a human brain transference.
It's not just the thinking side of the brain per se that needs to be modeled in exact detail. There are speech formation centers for talking, mobility centers for moving, vision centers for eye control, a massive nerve complex, and numerous other vital facets to be completed. With a mouse brain consisting of 100 million neurons and a human brain on the order of 1,000 times that, the machine must handle 100 billion neurons from the human brain along with the required one quadrillion synapses.
All this presumes the identical nature of the biological human brain being exactly converted verbatim into its machine constructs. However, a machine brain may have some algorithmic processes incorporated to somewhat simplify the system. Starting at level 1 and progressing upwards, a variety of brain receptacles can evolve to more and more sophisticated products.
