Uploading Conciousness to Computer

[bennyboy]

Do I have to be the one wet rag that points out that wormy behavior is not necessarily the same as actual wormy consciousness?

When in fact a single neuron is an amazingly complicated machine. A good simulation of a real neuron is still far more complicated and capable of far more computation than a whole artificial neural network that uses simple integrators with activation thresholds.

And that's just the neurons. Now, try modeling the fluid dynamics between synapses as neurotransmitters are released and received, as hormones arrive through the blood stream, etc.
