I find it daunting imagine the battery of tests you'd need to perform to get an accurate picture of the brain's internal state--even simple models have insanely high degrees of freedom. Would the original even remain operational after such a procedure?
I agree. And it's entirely possible that the early stages of this technology would be destructive reads. I tried not to delve too much into the specific mechanisms of each scenario in my post, because as one commenter already pointed out, it already has a bit of a "sci-fi" vibe to it. I think talking about all the different ways we might be able to scan a brain would push it right into that territory.
