The system-information approach to the process of the mind-uploading presents an original and unusual picture of it. The approach itself was developed in the 1980s by a group of researchers in Bulgaria, united in a non-governmental organization. The ideas of this approach are based on the concepts of “system” proposed by P. K. Anokhin in his general theory of functional systems and the concept of “systems of information ” developed by V. I. Kremyansky. The process of the mind-uploading to a new carrier is understood not as reproduction, but as moving (or relocation) a certain system of information (psyche) in the space of memory from one material carrier to another. Technologically, the process itself can be accomplished by creating a specific bridge – an artificial commissure between the two brains – the donor and the receiver. The artificial commissure can be constructed similar to the natural commissure corpus calosum between the two hemispheres of the biological brain. The relocation procedure is provisionally called “artificial commissure”. Mind-uploading through the artificial commissure procedure naturally solves the problem of identity and can definitely be implemented relatively easily and cheaply, fully within the capabilities of today’s technology. The transfer procedure itself, as a research procedure, is the opposite of dissecting the commissures of the brain and offers a new experimental approach to the study of the mind-body problem.
