【未来】如果记忆可以上传
Can Your Mind Live Forever？
Carl Zimmer, author of this month's article, "100 Trillion Connections," has just brought out a much-acclaimed e-book, Brain Cuttings: 15 Journeys Through the Mind, that compiles（v.编辑，汇编） a series of his writings on neuroscience.
Let's say you transfer your mind into a computer—not all at once but gradually（adv.逐渐地）, having electrodes（n.电极） inserted（v.插入，嵌入） into your brain and then wirelessly outsourcing your faculties. Someone reroutes your vision through cameras. Someone stores (v.储存)your memories on a net of microprocessors（n.微型处理机）. Step by step your metamorphosis（n.变形，转移） continues until at last the transfer is complete.
As engineers get to work boosting the performance of your electronic mind so you can now think as a god, a nurse heaves your fleshy brain into a bag of medical waste. As you—for now let's just call it "you"—start a new chapter of existence exclusively（adv.排外地，专有地） within a machine, an existence that will last as long as there are server farms and hard-disk space and the solar power to run them, are "you" still actually you?
Chalmers said that "There's no difference in principle between neurons(n.神经细胞，神经元) and silicon（n.芯片）," he said. But that led him to question number two: "Will an uploaded system be me? “
【参考翻译】
Carl Zimmer，本月论文《100万亿个连接》的作者，他刚刚出版了一本颇受欢迎电子书——《大脑剪辑：人脑中的15次旅行》，该书收集了他的一系列关于神经科学的文章。
其中说到，将你的思维逐渐移入到一台计算机中去，在你的大脑中插入电极，然后采用无线形式转移你的脑功能。用相机去拍摄你的所见，并且将你的记忆存储在微处理器网上。知道你的转化程序逐渐完成。
为了使你能准确无误地思考，工程师努力忙于提高你的电极思维的能力时，一名护士会将你的肉体大脑扔进一个药品废弃物袋子。当你--此时我们将它称作“你”--以另一种形式存在于一台机器中时，只要这里有服务器、硬盘空间和电极使这台机器运行，你将永不会消失，不过这个“你”是真正的你吗？
Chalmers说：“原则上，神经和芯片没有区别的。”不过，这也使得他提出了第二个问题：“上传上去的思想还是独属于我吗？”
