# A Complete Brain Simulation Would Probably Produce a Mind by Anders Sandberg > "I don't know whether a complete simulation of a brain, one to one, would actually produce a mind. I find it pretty likely, but I don't have evidence for that. I want to test it." > **— Anders Sandberg**, *2010, Scientific American feature on whole-brain emulation and mind uploading* ## Sources and Context - **Exact original published clauses:** “I don’t know whether a complete simulation of a brain, one to one, would actually produce a mind,” he said. “I find it pretty likely, but I don’t have evidence for that.
