Whole Brain Emulation and Hot Bean Soup, Oslo Edition.
Join our friendly group at Frederikke Spiseri (University of Oslo) on Tuesday, January 14, at 12:15 PM to learn about and discuss technical approaches being pursued to make Whole Brain Emulation (WBE) a reality.
In this edition we will also focus on psychological blockers to accepting WBE in present society, including skepticism on technical feasibility among neuroscientists, worries about the impact of the technology on personal identity, Integrated Information Theory, and much more.
After the structured discussion, participants will have the option to complete a brief, optional, and anonymous three-question survey.
Refreshments will be abundant.
Come along to meet people also interested in these topics, learn about career opportunities, publishing opportunities, and most importantly - to have fun!
We look forward to seeing you!
