interdimensionalmeme , 1 month ago Here is something close to tge cutting edge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSG3_JvnCkU What they are creating is a connectome. A list of all neurons and their connection. They are down to 34nm slices. I said 2nm because the smallest features are 5nm inside the gap between neurons called synapses. Presumably, there are no features enconding information smaller than that in the brain. But just the connectome might be enough to replicate a consciousness.
