Who will educate me on uploading?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the interest in "uploading" and advancements in brain science, with a focus on pursuing a career in research rather than a medical profession. The main query is about the appropriate degree to support this career path. Neuroscience is initially considered, but there is uncertainty about its alignment with the individual's interests. Suggestions include cognitive science, which may offer a broader understanding of mental processes, and biomedical engineering, which could provide a technical approach to brain-related research. The conversation highlights the need to clarify whether the focus is on anatomical studies or cognitive functions to determine the best educational route.

I'm very interested in "uploading" and other scientific advances in the brain. I'd imagine that neuroscience would be the degree I'm looking for but I'm not sure since I'm not really interested in a medical profession. I'm interested in a career doing research in areas such as uploading.

So having said that what degree should I pursue? which career?


p.s. I apologize if this is the wrong section I'm new :)

It's not really clear to me which aspect of the mind you're looking to study (i.e, on a purely anatomical level or something higher). Is cognitive science perhaps closer to what you want than neuroscience? Maybe biomedical engineering?
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
