🧪 Medical Brain Upload Simulation

Interactive 3D simulation of connectome scanning — the destructive slice-by-slice electron-microscopy process behind whole-brain mapping. Tune scan resolution, watch the data-volume and reconstruction-fidelity trade-off play out, and see the plane sweep through a synthetic neural network.

Before a brain can be "uploaded" in any technical sense, it first has to be scanned — sliced or imaged at a resolution fine enough to capture every neuron and synapse, then reassembled into a connectivity graph. This simulator renders that acquisition process directly: a scan plane sweeps through a synthetic 3D neuron network, progressively lighting up neurons and the synaptic edges between already-scanned pairs. The resolution slider drives a real cubic scaling law for data volume — modeled on the published data rate of actual electron-microscopy connectomics projects — so you can see exactly why finer resolution buys reconstruction fidelity at a steeply rising storage cost, right up to the zettabyte-scale estimate for a full human brain at synapse-level resolution.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation investigates the concept of uploading a human brain to a digital environment. It likely explores the challenges and potential implications of such a technology, focusing on neurological processes.
