I like the brain. It is something to think about.
from Science & Consciousness Review:

"To make sense of the brain as an information processing system, clearly we must be physically able to locate its information. And it's long been an almost unquestioned tenet of neuroscience that neurons with their weighted junctions and crisp connection patterns are devices for trapping information. The hardwired network is the solid foundation for all the pretty patterns that play across it. Yet when we zero in on these synapses, suddenly their "information" appears to scatter. The synapses turn out to be merely reflecting a living confluence of top-down and bottom-up pressures. The information is now out there in the system and it is making the synaptic patterns we observe."

So much for uploading. Or perhaps...
