Validation of simulated minds

By Eli Grey

If there is a non-destructive method of entire brain scanning and simulation, it should be possible to validate its accuracy with the following 2 methods. Note that a simulation or recording (including all sense data) of the scanning process should be prepended to the memories of the scanned brain.

Method 1 (requires advanced neural implants): Create a brain implant that forwards all sense data to the simulated mind. Find someone crazy enough to let you put stuff in their brain for science. Compare the simulated mind's output behavior with the real person.

Method 0 (only destructive brain scanning available): Not possible to validate directly. Hopefully whatever research we do with destructive brain scanning helps improve AI and neural interface knowledge enough to make method 1 possible.

The laptop I bought in 2015 needed to meet most of these specs.

The most likely contenders were:

• Google Chromebook Pixel 2 (3:2)
• Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (3:2)
• The rest of the 16:9 laptop manufacturers' Broadwell-U refreshes

	Current Previous	Planned	Current	Alternate choice
