Sebastian Seung discusses and signs Connectome: How the Brain's Wiring Makes Us Who We Are

Sebastian Seung, a dynamic young professor at MIT, believes that our identity lies not in our genes, but in the connections between our brain cells—our own particular wiring. Seung explains how this map of a human “connectome” might even enable us to “upload” our brains into a computer, making us effectively immortal. This book is a mind-bending adventure story, presenting a daring scientific and technological vision for at last understanding what makes us who we are, both as individuals and as a species.
