{title2}
<Wikipedia> defines <Mind uploading> as a synonym for <whole brain emulation>. This sounds really weird, as "mind uploading" suggests much more simply <brain dumping>, or perhaps reuploading a brain dump to a brain.
<Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom (2014)> section "Whole brain emulation" provides a reasonable setup: post mortem, take a brain, freeze it, then cut it into fine slices with a <Microtome>, and then inspect slices with an <electron microscope> after some kind of staining to determine all the synapses.
Likely implies <AGI>.
