A Functional Connectomics Dataset Spanning Multiple Visual Areas
Neuroglancer
The Allen Institute has released an open-access, interactive visualization of a functional connectome that spans a cubic millimeter. This is the most detailed connectomics model released to date. The data, containing multiple visual areas in a mouse brain, maps 200,000 cells and more than 500 million synapses.

High-Throughput Mapping of a Whole Rhesus Monkey Brain
Fang Xu, Yan Shen, Lufeng Ding, et al
Until recently, the mapping of an entire primate brain has not been possible due to its large size and limited imaging methods. A new technology combines microscopy and reconstruction to create a high-resolution connectome within 100 hours. The resulting visualizations include thalamocortical and individual axonal projections.

The Road to Mind Uploading
Brain Inspired Podcast
Randal Koene and Ken Hayworth participate in an hour-long discussion on Whole Brain Emulation. They explain the methods of “scan-and-copy” and “gradual replacement”. The podcast episode touches on technological approaches, brain preservation, inspirations for mind uploading, and the future of neuroscience.

Ghost in the Shell
dir. Mamoru Oshii
This film is a science-fiction anime set in 2029 where cybernetic technology is common, allowing for transcendence from physical bodies. A mechanical layer of the brain enables direct access to the Internet and can also be hacked. Computers and humans intermingle.

Brain Uploading
The Brain With David Eagleman
In a brief clip, neuroscientist David Eagleman gives an introduction to the concept of mind uploading. As technology evolves, becoming more sophisticated, we may utilize it to emulate our brains and enhance our capabilities.
