PsyMed Ventures Updates The Future of Whole Brain Emulation Whole brain emulation without the sci-fi, by PsyMed’s Danny Carbonero PsyMed Ventures Feb 10, 2026 19 1 2 Share Long a controversial staple of science fiction, emerging tools and recent breakthroughs have neuroscientists pursuing the concept of uploading consciousness under a less fictional name: whole brain emulation. Where We’re At Since 2008, neural recording capabilities have improved by roughly two orders of magnitude 1 . Calcium imaging can now capture nearly 80% of neurons in a larval zebrafish brain and about a million cortica
