X-Message-Number: 4180 Date: Sun, 9 Apr 1995 19:14:43 -0500 (CDT) From: N E U R O M A N C E R <> Subject: SCI.CRYONICS "Holographic Memory Uploads" Holographic Memory Uploads Both laser-optic computer memory and the field of human "uploading" will definately benefit by the current research being done in the field of holograph-ic media. A fragmented holographic plate retains the bulk of information available on the original, although resolution decreases with each fragmentation. This allows a staggering amount of data to be stored redundantly--much how data is stored in the human brain. The "holographic" model in regards to the brain and the structure of consciousness is given a very interesting light in Michael Talbot's "The Holographic Universe." This book might be labeled "fringe science" by many cryonicists, but it deserves attention; just how the definitions of death are in constant flux, the status of "fringe science" is also increasingly ambiguous.
