is emblematic of this, having collected and shared high quality functional MRI, diffusion weighted MRI, structural MRI & detailed demographic & behavioral data from 1200 subjects.
They're using Demons to clear it up.
DEMONS
Training-free Diffusion Model Alignment with Sampling Demons
arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05760
We propose a stochastic optimization approach, dubbed Demon, to guide the DENOISING PROCESS AT INFERENCE TIME without backpropagation through reward functions or model retraining.
They are modeling it off the brain.
The network with nodes and edges for our soul.

Description of the Tool
The site was designed as a central repository for connectivity matrices.
There are a number of immediate benefits that a centralized resource provides: broad, click-of-the-mouse fast meta analyses, such as those enabled by

reproducibility of findings across study sites & varieties in data analysis methodology & the availability of data.
Tracking Whole-Brain Connectivity Dynamics in the Resting State.

HUMAN BRAIN DIGITIZATION
Human brain digitization remains a theoretical & experimental endeavor, with significant progress in mapping simpler nervous systems but no current capability to fully digitize a human brain.

While projects like the Human Brain Project & the BRAIN Initiative aim to simulate brain functions & collect detailed neural data, full mind uploading or digital immortality.
Digitization of Human Consciousness

Ethical & philosophical questions persist, including whether a digital copy of a mind would be a true continuation of consciousness, and what rights such a digital entity would have.
