Carboncopies Foundation is a research and education organization focused on advancing whole brain emulation (WBE), a proposed technology for reproducing a biological brain’s functions on another platform. Its mission is to identify, facilitate, and conduct the research needed to make WBE possible, with the vision that it will benefit individuals and humanity. The Foundation supports this work through research, education, and community-building.

Its research activities include developing a WBE roadmap, investigating neuroscience and memory, and creating tools and resources through BrainGenix, including virtual brain simulations and microscopy software. The Foundation also runs the Brain Emulation Challenge, which invites participants to work with brain data and explore approaches to neuroscience. Educational offerings include technical workshops, public lectures, learning resources, recommended readings, and a podcast. Community programs provide discussion groups, events, volunteer opportunities, and collaboration networks, alongside engagement on ethics in brain emulation. Carboncopies also offers due diligence services for investors, grantors, and press evaluating startups, research claims, and proposals involving brain interfaces and emulation.
