Did Britain try to assassinate Lenin? 19 March 2011Last updated at 23:59 GMT By Mike Thomson Presenter, Document, Radio 4 Lenin survived an assassination attempt in 1918 although he was badly wounded Nearly a century ago, Britain was accused of masterminding a failed plot to kill Lenin and overthrow his fledgling Bolshevik regime.
The British government dismissed the story as mere Soviet propaganda - but new evidence suggests it might be true. Mind_Transfer. Whole brain emulation (WBE) or mind uploading (sometimes called "mind copying" or "mind transfer") is the hypothetical process of copying mental content (including long-term memory and "self") from a particular brain substrate and copying it to another computational device, such as a digital, analog, quantum-based or software based artificial neural network.
The computational device could then run a simulation model of the brain information processing, such that it responds in essentially the same way as the original brain (i.e., indistinguishable from the brain for all relevant purposes) and experiences having a conscious mind.[1][2][3] Mind uploading may potentially be accomplished by either of two methods: Copy-and-Transfer or Gradual Replacement of neurons.
Mainstream scientists, potential research funders and scientific journals presently remain skeptical of the feasibility of mind uploading.
