"The field of computational neuroscience studies brain function in terms of the information processing properties of the brain, frequently constructing software models of particular features. Taken to its limits, this practice could eventually result in human whole brain emulations, software models that can reliably mimic the behavior of human brains at various levels of abstraction. Regardless of whether we consider such systems to possess mental states, emulations with sufficient functional similarity could substitute for humans in almost any cognitive task. Experts in the area recently released a roadmap analyzing plausible computational, scanning, and other demands to create such emulations (Sandberg and Bostrom 2008). The roadmap’s estimates suggest that this might be feasible by mid-century."
