mindtransfer.me | Human cognition, simulated
Brain Emulation Project
Mindtransfer.me is a small, research led project that joins published brain data with an interactive neural network visualiser. We want to show what mind uploading and mind transfer might demand in the real world by documenting assumptions, citing sources, and keeping the work reproducible.

What we are building?
We are building an open toolkit for exploring whole brain emulation. Every change must be traceable to a dataset or paper, and every feature has to be explainable to someone new to the field. This keeps the roadmap honest and lets others check the work.
Current capabilities
Interactive brain emulation playground
Real time 3D spiking neural network visualiser with orbit controls and smooth zooming.
Inspector shows cluster context, neuron taxonomy, excitatory/inhibitory balance, and live voltage traces.
Consistent glyphs and warm desert palette keep clusters and cell types easy to read.
Scientifically grounded region templates
Curated human brain maps sourced from the Allen Human Brain Atlas, the EBRAINS Julich Brain project, and the BrainGlobe atlas ecosystem.
Layer specific motor cortex, somatosensory barrel fields, occipital visual streams, and mediodorsal thalamic loops, each with realistic neuron ratios (≈80% excitatory, 20% inhibitory), delays, and projection targets backed by published literature.
Import/export pipeline for JSON templates so researchers can test their own atlases without rewriting code.
Guided documentation for every concept
Twelve documentation chapters replace the old “lessons,” covering everything from the project vision to advanced configuration and troubleshooting.
Plain language explanations help newcomers understand what mind uploading demands, while contributors get the detail needed to extend the simulator responsibly.
Scientific foundation
Neuron diversity: Taxonomy aligns with transcriptomic and morphological datasets (pyramidal, basket, chandelier, medium spiny, thalamic relay, and more), each mapped to distinct visual glyphs.
Connectivity realism: Atlas templates respect reported projection probabilities, including dense CA3 recurrence and corticothalamic feedback. Probability sliders apply scaling factors without breaking biological proportions.
Data provenance: Every preset cites its source atlas, release date, and key references directly in the UI. Import scripts encourage researchers to attach DOIs and methodology notes.
In active development
Automated atlas ingestion script to convert Allen and siibra data into ready to run templates.
Expanded analytic overlays (frequency spectra, spike synchrony) to measure mind relevant signatures like oscillations and global workspace dynamics.
Preservation tooling: versioned exports, integrity checks, and reproducible manifests to support longterm mind transfer archives.
The Goal: The Interface Layer
(the speculative part)
The Bridge Protocol: Biological-to-Synthetic Integration
The Corpus Callosum Interface
Current Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) sit on top of the brain. The idea is to go deeper on future steps, by interfacing directly with the Corpus callosum, the bridge between your brain hemispheres, to use the brain's natural communication highway. Not new and inspired on previous works but specially from the Prof. Masataka Watanabe. Using a double sided CMOS microelectrode array, we could allow biological axons to regenerate directly into the digital sensors.
The "Watanabe" Subjective Test
How could it be possible to know you are still you after uploadinging? That is the idea behindof what is refferred as the "Subjective Test protocol". This would mean it is not a copy; it would mean more as an expansion. It would mean spend a transition period living with one biological hemisphere and one digital hemisphere. Only when it happens to see and feel through both simultaneously the transfer would be then achieved.
The Neural Firewall (Cybersecurity)
Let's be honest, your mind is your most valuable asset. There needs to be worked on military level Neural Firewall and more so thinking on remote NNs expansion.
Homomorphic Encryption: The satellite processes your thoughts without ever decrypting them, making your mind unreadable to hackers.
Anomaly Kill Switch: Hardware level protection that instantly severs the connection if unauthorized motor commands are detected.
"Real neurons. Real learning. Real shot at digital immortality."
