Speaking of copying Belgium is still ahead of many countries ... latest tip: Police acquire cameras with automatic registration recognition at the Franco-Belgian border http://www.lavenir.net/article/detail.a ... 3012345407

We've had this for a few years here (2007) !!!

Very interesting article. Thank you

Positive coping, but coping nonetheless.

Another debate, we are a bit out of the subject, right?

Russian media mogul, Dmitry Itskov, titled "Avatar", a hugely ambitious and far-reaching multidisciplinary research project that aims to achieve immortality in human beings over the next three decades.

He plans to do this by placing human brains in increasingly disembodied vehicles / gear / media, first by transplanting them into robots and then, by the year 2045, by reverse-engineering the brain. human, by effectively "downloading" human consciousness into a computer chip.

Does reality want to go beyond science fiction?

especially to download a consciousness, it would be necessary to determine where it is located, which is far from being a simple cerebral mechanism. It recalls the V series!

There is no shortage of references in science fiction:Matrix, TRON, Existenz, Avalon etc ...

Transferring consciousness to a computer seems to me a challenge lost in advance ...
However, by mapping the brain, we risk leading to technological discoveries with significant spinoffs in the fields of computer science, nanotechnologies and cognitive sciences.
Of a project Avatar, we may end up on a terminator, because robotics is making a lot of progress on the military side!

To take, once again an analogy (again one!) It is like the driver of an automobile who is going to settle down, set off, move, this vehicle to go from point A to point B. The vehicle, even fully operational will not go there by itself. It is the vehicle that is moving, but it is its driver who drives it; (...)

It seems to me that this definition fits more with the concept of consciousness than of mind?
According to tradition, there are:
Body, mind and spirit.
It seems to me that we often confuse the last two.
The question, or so has passed the mind of a person with Alzheimer's disease?

[Cuicui]

, or has the spirit of a person with Alzheimer's disease gone?

Spirit = memory? Memory loss = physiological mental deficiency and / or unconscious reaction of a tired psyche that does not want to remember?

Or the body, the soul and the spirit; the formulation is: Thessalonic 5:23 May the God of peace make you whole; may your whole being, spirit, soul and body, be kept blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Obviously this is hardly significant like any sentence removed from its context and detached from a serious exegesis because if the notion of body has become more precise (although incomplete), the spirit and the soul remain more or less vague for many.

the mind (in the spiritual sense) has nothing to do with memory. The disappearance of the spirit (the rest also besides) accompanies death. Always by analogy, it's like switching off the ignition on a vehicle, ALL the functions stop at the same time. Currently it is called a flat electroencephalogram. (provided that this is the correct criterion called into question with NDEs precisely).

Indeed, memory is an information storage area located in the brain.
However, it does not define consciousness, which is a more complex phenomenon.
Consciousness is a kind of level of organization informational emerge from brain activities.
However, it does not correspond to the mind, but rather to the mind.

And where classify sensations, feelings, emotions?
