Biohacker’s Podcast Teemu Arina interviews professor Russell Hanson on our current capabilities of making a digital copy of a human brain on the connectome level. Professor Russell Hanson is founder and CEO of Brain Backups a company with the ambitious mission of providing non-destructive non-invasive brain imaging at the connectome level. Why would one want a Brain Backup or connectome? This is the image of one’s neural connections much like the genome is the image of one’s DNA sequence. This means it encodes everything you are, do, and have experienced. Prof. Hanson is also a professor of Genetics and Multi-scale Biology at Mount Sinai. Previously he has worked at Harvard, MIT, and the Technical University of Berlin.
