Creator & director : email [email protected] Cryonics-for-Connectomes or Connectome-Cryonics are equivalent terms for CryoConnectomics or cryoconnectomics. It's now the only cryonics that matters and it has not yet been proven viable-- but it's urgent to do so. It can also potentially falsify the entire cryonics thesis. It is to be distinguished from plastination, uploading and A.I. which is NOT cryonics and is of no interest to cryonicists qua cryonicists. Many cryonicists are also uploaders or transhumanists but cryonics itself is not interested in uploading by definition but rather reversible suspended animation which does require proof of survival of connectomes through vitrification.

LTM not like RAM

Response to One more thing
Long term memory (LTM) is not like RAM, in that it will not be lost if the brain "reboots". This isn't speculation, it's demonstrated by the fact that people recover from electroshock therapy (the equivalent of a "brain reboot") with LTM intact.
Short term memory, STM, is like RAM, in that it is mediated by cycles of current in the brain. If you die in a car accident and are revived, you won't remember the hour or so prior to the accident.
The hyppocampus is the part of the brain the forms STM into LTM.
