Charles Leiber and his team at Cambridge and Massachusetts have
engineered a neural electronic mesh that could potentially be used
on humans. This mesh has tiny electronic devices that can watch
and interact on a neuron level. No one has been able to observe
and record the brain in such a large and precise way.

This groundbreaking tech has allowed scientists to peer inside the brain and learn in greater detail how neural path ways emerge and record the patterns of impulses sent from various groups of neurons and areas of the brain. This advanced level of mapping might give us enough data to then be able to artificially activate neurons for humans benefits. The study has been conducted on mice, the result have had a positive outcome. There have been no recorded impairments with this implant inserted in mice. It might be a long way from being injected into a human but to be able to essentially disperse a electric circuit throughout the brain without harm that can interact is amazing. Scientist theorize that this could help improve or cure neural disease such as parking-sons, hunters or Alzheimer.
However I want to take this tech further, the question is how far?
Lets create a scenario. Lets say scientist 5 years from now collect the required data to enable them to understand. Another 10 years goes by studying this data, furthermore during this period computers are ever improving and being applied in the way we read and calculate data. A break through in how memory is stored and then mimicking this in a humans occurs. Now the bridge of being able to implant a device that can monitor and activate memory pathways opens the door to the point of singularity. Lets say that software has gotten to a level of ability that can record from a persons view and interpret the world around them that is applicable to the user. It stores the data learnt and is connected to the internet of correct information. The Neural mesh would allow the computer to recognize that during a particular task you went to say something but forgot what it was it will then fill the void and artificially activate the previously recorded pathways. However we could go further. lets say that on this computer you could download a science lesson. The implant triggers all necessary pathways that would then simulate in your brain the knowlegde. You can see where i am going with this.
Could we conquer death?
Now lets say our understanding of the brain was so well understood and the equipment was extremely precise. Could we just copy the brain into a completely artificial brain. Think, the existing mesh in the subjects brain has already mimicked all of the neural paths ways. once that brain dies, why cant the computer just keep processing existing information and conducting Artificial neural paths ways that was a splitting image to yours.
The point of singularity achieved and humans have evolved death.
