Yes, Todd believes (like most mind uploading experts) that the most practical approach to mind uploading in the near term is to slice a dead brain and scan it in. Doing uploading on live brains is bound to be far more technologically demanding, so it makes sense to focus on uploading fresh-killed brains first. > > > Couldn't see any good references to this. > It was a talk, not a publication.
