Startup claims it can preserve your brain but you have to die first

The idea of uploading your mind to a computer has been theorized for many years now, but it's mostly remained the stuff of science fiction. A San Francisco-based startup is trying to change that by devising a way to preserve the human brain so that its memories can be uploaded to the cloud. However, in order for Nectome's technology to work, participants have to be willing to be euthanized. And there's no guarantee that the process will actually work after you've surrendered your brain and your life. San Francisco-based startup Nectome says it has devised a way to preserve a human brain and upload its memories to the cloud.
