The reason for the low bitrate is the fact that they are not using the main antenna, which failed to open long ago. Instead the engineers ingeniously reprogrammed the craft to use a low-gain antenna to transmit scientific data. The high-gain antenna was meant to transmit 134,400 bits per second (about one imaging frame per minute). Many software tricks had to be applied, as well as the use of better receiving equipment on earth, for the mission to continue as planned. Prior to the software upgrades, the low-gain antenna had a bitrate of only 8-16 bits per second! See http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galileo/hg a_f act.html.
Then compose mixed pixels to give your giant Lego block the colour you wish. Colours can be changed at any time, even shading and effects are possible.:)
While Neuromancer certainly did put forward the topic in recent times, Arthur C. Clarke explored the entire concept of storage of minds in computers and the generation of living environments for the humans by that computer in his classic: The City and the Stars, which I believe is from the 50's.
Currently mind uploading is making its way out of the fringe of respectable science into the minds of everyday scientists.
You can find further references there, older information and the newest developments (see News), as well as a mailing list intended for the Mind Uploading Research Group (a loose-nit network of researchers sharing information toward a common goal).
Note that the press release indicated that they found signs that spines increased more where there were already many dendritic spines. This is exactly what you want, according to the notion that the number of spines is directly correleted with the strength of a synapse, i.e. the strength of an associative relationship.

Correction... since the green blocks are so rare,
lets use yellow instead.
Heh... no more COLOUR problem! :)

All we need is Red, Green, Blue and maybe Black.

And yes, there is a web site!
minduploading.org
You can find further references there, older information and the newest developments (see News), as well as a mailing list intended for the Mind Uploading Research Group (a loose-nit network of researchers sharing information toward a common goal).
Feel free to drop in. You too Kurzweil!

Check out much older information on mind uploading (also called "Whole Brain Emulation") at Joe Strout's site The Mind Uploading HomePage.
Or treat yourself to the much more recent main site of all things mind uploading:
minduploading.org
You can even join a mailing list intended for the exchange of information relevant to research into mind uploading:
MURG (the Mind Uploading Research Group)
Serious participation in the discussions and sharing of information is very welcome!
See you there!
rak@minduploading.org
Moderators anyone?
