Very interesting article, Eugene.  This article
portrays the brain to be much like dynamic RAM, each
bit of which must be refreshed nearly continuously in
order to retain a stable pattern.

And, it implies that uploading a "snapshot" of the
brain, a view of the brain's state at some particular
instant in time, is not sufficient to upload the mind
itself.  Many snapsots or a "long-exposure" snapshot,
or both, may be required.
