Coalescing Minds: Brain Uploading-Related Group Mind Scenarios
Kaj Sotala and Harri Valpola
Upon the advent of whole brain emulation, the removal of physical boundaries opens up numerous possibilities. Two minds could potentially coalesce to yield a greater understanding; two individuals could meld into one. Multiple individuals working together could have shared desires and achieve shared goals. This would have implications for personal identity and empathy.

A Psychometric Platform to Collect Somatosensory Sensations for Neuroprosthetic Use
Giacomo Valle et al
Neuroprosthetics can interface with the somatosensory cortex to restore sensation after amputation or disease. In order to set up the parameters for neuroprosthetic devices, it is necessary to ask patients certain questions. A new questionnaire is proposed to give insights into the intensity and quality of induced sensations.

Ed Boyden: Tools for Mapping and Controlling the Brain
Foresight Neurotech Group
The technology of artificial intelligence continues to progress. AI algorithms have now been implemented on neuromorphic hardware, allowing neural networks to become more efficient by consuming less energy. Emulating spiking neurons enabled researchers to develop a device that transfers information faster than the brain.

Artificial Neural Nets Finally Yield Clues to How Brains Learn
Quanta Magazine
Artificial intelligence and brains share many commonalities. Knowing how the brain works can inform developments in machine learning; the same is also true in reverse. Artificial neural networks learn through inferring outputs and subsequently updating them. It is possible that brains learn using a similar process of sensory prediction.

“Upload”
Dutch National Opera
Upload is an opera composed and directed by Michel van der Aa that centers around mind uploading. It explores the concepts of eternal life, a digital existence, and the continuing humanity of emulations. The opera blends technological advances with a creative, lyrical mode of expression.
