The preservation was achieved last month by Borys Wróbel, Aurelia Song, and Anna LaVergne, marking a significant step in Nectome's research. The company is focused on developing methods to preserve the human brain and body, with Wróbel serving as its chief scientist. According to Metro - Main, Wróbel emphasized the urgency of this work, describing it as a huge loss to humanity to be losing the experience of people every day.
The specific method used for the pig's preservation, the condition of the brain, and the next steps in Nectome's timeline remain unclear. Additionally, it is unknown whether the preservation technique has been peer-reviewed or what ethical considerations might arise for human applications.
It's a huge loss to us as humanity to be losing the experience of people every day.
This could pave the way for uploading humans brains to computers – one day.
