    You could have a database of your brain… but it wouldn’t be conscious.

    Where is the proof of your statement?

      Well there’s no proof, it’s all speculative and even the concept of scanning all the information in a human brain is fantasy so there isn’t going to be a real answer for awhile.

      But just as a conceptual argument, how do you figure that a one-time brain scan would be able to replicate active processes that occur over time? Or would you expect the brain scan to be done over the course of a year or something like that?

        You make a functional model of a neuron that can behave over time like other neurons do. Then you get all the synapses and their weights. The synapses and their weights are a starting point, and your neural model is the function that produces subsequent states.

        Problem is brians don’t have “clock cycles”, at least not as strictly as artificial neural networks do.
