Ken Hayworth who is affiliated with the BPF gave a talk on brain scanning and uploading at a Boston meetup last year. Someone videotaped that talk so there may be a copy floating around. My personal impression was that they were doing very impressive work. Hayworth was extremely open about the many technical obstacles in their way, and from his description it seems like something like preserving a connectome is much easier than scanning it in a detailed enough way.
