Brain uploading, also known as mind uploading or whole brain emulation, is a hypothetical process in which a brain scan is used to completely emulate a person's mental state in a digital computer. The computer would run a simulation of the brain's information processing, allowing it to respond in essentially the same way as the original brain and sustain a sentient conscious mind.

Behavioral or partial human mind uploads will emerge within roughly five years.
“That's a low bar. There are much higher bars that would be connectome based. Something like that I think we're going to see actually happen in the next five or so years, certainly by the end of this decade.”
