Dr. Randal Koene, Dutch Neuroscientist, Neuroengineer, Preeminent Theorist, Founder And Developer Will Discuss The State Of Science And Technology For Neural Prostheses And Whole Brain Emulation
Substrate Independent Minds (SIM) is a field of research which seeks to understand the brain and nervous system of a wide range of organisms, including humans, in order to facilitate emulation of these organisms in an artificial substrate.
As founder for the nonprofit carboncopies.org and the startup NeuraLink Co, Dr. Koene will address how to tackle and accomplish a complex long-term project to achieve human whole brain emulation.
"You can plot all the Kurzweilian exponential curves you want, enormously complicated advances don't make themselves happen. "Mind uploading" is an amazing idea utterly dependent on good planning and good execution with dedication and endurance!" states Dr. Koene.
Dr. Koene joins host Cindy F. Solomon live at Studio132 for the Global Product Management Talk on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 at the simultaneous times of 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 11:00 AM MST Denver, 12:00 Noon CST Chicago, and 1:00 PM EST Boston.

Global Product Management Talk On Whole Brain Emulation With Dr. Randal Koene
1. Global Product Management Talk On
Whole Brain Emulation
Dr. Randal Koene, Dutch Neuroscientist, Neuroengineer,
Preeminent Theorist, Founder And Developer Will Discuss The
State Of Science And Technology For Neural Prostheses And
Whole Brain Emulation
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 7, 2014 - OAKLAND, Calif. -- Substrate
Independent Minds (SIM) is a field of research which seeks to
understand the brain and nervous system of a wide range of organisms,
including humans, in order to facilitate emulation of these organisms in
an artificial substrate.
Dr. Koene explains, "When you think about Substrate Independent
Minds, a good analogy is to think about platform independent code when
you think in terms of software. Platform independent code is when you
have a program that can easily run on any computer and will produce
the same result whether it runs on a Mac, a PC or a supercomputer. For
2. Substrate Independent Minds, we are saying that what's happening
inside of our brains - that there are functions that are running on a
certain kind of hardware - they're running on these mechanisms, on the
processes, that are going on in the brain. In principle, if you can take
these same functions and run them on some other substrate, some other
hardware, and they produce the same result, then you get the same
outcome."
As founder for the nonprofit carboncopies.org and the startup NeuraLink
Co, Dr. Koene will address how to tackle and accomplish a complex
long-term project to achieve human whole brain emulation.
"You can plot all the Kurzweilian exponential curves you want,
enormously complicated advances don't make themselves happen.
"Mind uploading" is an amazing idea utterly dependent on good planning
and good execution with dedication and endurance!" states Dr. Koene.
