Gary Stix:
"If you could deduce every connection point of every brain cell, the strength with which each neuron fires, and the way these firing patterns change as the cells interact with each other, would, in fact, you be left with a copy of you?"
In Gary's defense the rest of the article is fantastic, and I am looking forward to reading Connectome, the book he is reviewing.
