Blue Brain Project: Launched in 2005 by Henry Markram at EPFL, this initiative aims to digitally reconstruct and simulate the mammalian brain, starting with rat neocortical columns. Using supercomputers, it models neurons and synapses with biological accuracy to understand brain function. While not explicitly for mind uploading, its goal of simulating neural networks is foundational. It has recreated basic brain circuits, offering insights into information processing. Critics question its scalability to a whole human brain. The project advances computational neuroscience and data integration. Its detailed simulations represent a step toward whole-brain emulation, a potential pathway to uploading, though consciousness transfer remains far beyond current capabilities.
