The human brain doesn’t suddenly stop functioning at 11 Tesla
I don’t recall saying anything of the sort, and the safety risks were hashed out in the cousin thread. There’s still an occupational safety risk around strong, static magnetic fields.
assuming you were being serious with your reference to uploading
This is still LessWrong, right? I didn’t accidentally post this comment to RationalWiki?
The level of MRI-like technology you would need to pull off such a feat would make tomorrow’s MRI systems look like slings and stones in the face of modern weapons technology.
I have no idea what this sentence is supposed to mean. The paragraph preceding it seems to be arguing against the feasibility of neuron-level imaging, but then this analogy makes it seem possible.
Well, I’m not sure what else to make of the “hard limits” regarding the magnetic field that a human brain can “take” that you were referring to. What exactly did you mean?
There’s still an occupational safety risk around strong, static magnetic fields.
Such as? What occupational risks are so elevated at high field that they would pose a “problem” to human brain imaging?
but then this analogy makes it seem possible
Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you, but I also can’t comment on what is and isn’t possible for technology hundreds or thousands of years into the future.
