>> Lena Thierry: Now from prostheses my research from
segued into a field called whole brain emulation.
In WBD, he have to assume that brain activity is
computable therefore it can be replicated mathematically.
There are three basic requirements to emulation
is the capability to scan the brain, interpret the data and
software to simulate the brain model.
I'm working on a brain scanner.
In fact, I have the prototype here.

history and daring to imagine a transcendent life.
A life outside the shadows of suffering.
A life untethered.
A spirit free to rise.
