would it be possible to graft human memory neurons onto a motherboard?

Question

I was thinking that if you could effectively graft human memory neurons and remove them from a persons brain and keep the cells alive while the persons body dies, and then graft them onto the silicon and pass a current through it, would that person be technically reborn inside the computer?

As well if software was designed to emulate the persons former brain function from before would they be the same person as they were with their memories attached?

Answer 1

Not yet.

Also, memory probably does not reside in discrete individual neurons, but in networks that may be delocalized. "Hooking them up" may be very tricky.

Keep in mind that when a person dies, the brain is one of the first organs to be irreversibly damaged. (Remember that "brain death" is one working definition of the death of the person.) Your scenario of harvesting a brain "while the person's body dies" is ethically sketchy, since, by definition you would be taking a vital organ from a still-living person!

Answer 2

That would be great of the human brain worked physiologically like a circuit board. Unfortunately, neurons do not pass electrical current like silicon, and by trying to pass current through them, you will only end up with a fried cell.

Also, memory in a human being is not as localized as a hard drive or even small memory board. How human memory actually works is still a mystery. We know that certain areas of the brain act a depository for very specific types of data, but the actual memory of an event, such as a birthday or a first kiss, is scattered throughout the brain and interconnected in very complex ways, the visual images, the smell, etc. are all stored away in different areas. This feature allows a person who has suffered a major localized brain injury to actually be able to recover most of his functions, while another person with mild but diffuse injury has difficulty with even simple tasks.

This has actually already been done with the help of stem cells and is currently being used in the Cray 7 super computer, which is considered ALIVE. It is located in the lowest parts of Gov't underground complexes that keeps very close tabs on all individuals’ personal habits and info on the planet. You may not find anything about it on a computer searches, but it is being done. There has been some reference to it as a "soul stealer” This is very high tech. The computer has been referred to as the BEAST
In addition, you are correct in thinking that with the aid of cellular memory; very small brain cells hold huge amounts if data about the individual it was taken from. Grafting Human cells to machines and computers has actually been around longer that you could imagine. And is just being talked about in scientific journals on a very simple level.
Of course, I cannot prove any of this.
Nevertheless, the truth is, we have been secretly cloning and speed cloning with the ability to transfer cellular memory to computers and back again for over 20 years.
Interestingly In the Bible, The book of Daniel, it talks about a seed of people God created and another he did NOT create. And that the seeds will not mingle as Iron does not mingle with clay. Clay being the “Man” God created, and “Iron” being a forged creation made with technology derived from fallen Angels who pose as Aliens try to corrupt the seed of man. This is why the world was destroyed by the flood and the reason it will be destroyed by fire the next time. Which is almost at hand.

Repent now! The seven-year repentance period God gave us, is now less than 20 days away from being over. Spring of 2007 begins a very challenging period for those who have not accepted the savior as their sacrifice for sins. Lord God have mercy on the united states and its people...
Love your brother. Amen

Answer 4

Genetically the human body would reject the graft unless the tissue was extensively modified.

Answer 5

Yes, easily, yet lots of parts, and time, and coding. Need more funding. But worth it.
