<i>Brain upload is a sci-fi invention; using a T1, DWI, fMRI, EEG and behavioral data to build a realistic model of a subject&#x27;s brain is today&#x27;s neuroscience.</i><p>I will echo this point.  I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve met anyone in the field of neuroimaging who sees mind uploading as plausible.  There&#x27;s simply too much noise in the data for that sort of thing.  Even simplified simulations such as the Human Brain Project require so much computing power that modeling a single mind is prohibitive; I can&#x27;t imagine trying to perform whole-brain emulation accurately and practically without incurring more cost than it&#x27;s worth.  Wetware is good enough for me.
