The programme
Since 2016, Simulux has developed and tested conscious transfer, first in the laboratory and then in primates. We are now inviting volunteers of all ages to join the first human cohort.
How it works
Neural structure and activity are mapped at synaptic resolution over eleven hours, in a comfortable chair, under light sedation. Most volunteers describe it as “restful”. Most volunteers are asleep.
The map is instantiated on Substrate, our hosting environment, and brought online. Transfer is completed in eleven minutes. In all fourteen primate transfers the subject woke, and behaved as though nothing had changed.
Your mind continues on Substrate, hosted across four secured sites and monitored continuously. During the programme your biological self is retained for observation, as described in Schedule 4.

Stipends are paid in pounds sterling, before tax, and for as long as the programme is in a position to pay them.
Who we’re looking for
Any age, from birth to 110
Guardian consent for volunteers under 18. For volunteers over 90, their own, or whoever is most available.
Calm, curious and willing to sign
Volunteers will be asked to sign several documents. Some are not available in advance.
No outstanding commitments
Dependants, pets and tenancies are noted. They are not a barrier. They may be a consideration.
Prior experience with primates
Not required. Where present, it is noted, and a coordinator may ask about it.
Security and confidentiality
Four sites in three jurisdictions. Locations are shared with volunteers on arrival, and with some volunteers again afterwards.
No employee holds the whole programme. The CEO does. He asked us to say that he does not mind.
Volunteers sign an agreement covering the programme, its subjects, its facilities and the existence of the agreement.
Important information
A summary of the schedules that apply to every track. The full schedules are available to volunteers, once they are volunteers.
Most volunteers begin on the Reserve List and are happy to be contacted later. Most are.
