Digitizing the Human Mind Seemed Like Such a Good Idea...Until Robot Bill Kristol Came Along
In this month’s issue, h+ Magazine profiles former U.S.C. grad student Ken Hayworth, whose ATLUM2 machine may eventually allow scientists to digitize the human mind. Right now, Hayworth’s device plasticizes mouse brains and slices them into two million pieces.
Using a special slicing device which Ken is also designing, the plasticized brain would be cut into approximately 400 sub-blocks. Each sub-block would then be loaded into Ken’s ATLUM2 and it would be cut into 5,000 incredibly thin slices.
