Brain transfer
-
How do you know that you are thinking that? Maybe someone else's brain was put into your skull - I'd check for scar tissue if I were you....

Well if Paris Hilton's brain was transferred to me, I'd think I'm so hot.

Because our thoughts(generated by the brain) make up our conscience and self-awareness, this procedure would be improperly named "Brain Transfer". Instead it should be called "Total Body Transfer" because if would ever going to wake up after such an operation you would realize that YOU live in a different body, not that you have a different brain.

Do you mean physically moving the brain from one body to another, or simply downloading all the information contained in a brain into another brain (possibly using a third temporary brain as backup storage)?
TempBrain = YourBrain; YourBrain = MyBrain; MyBrain = TempBrain;I imagine it would be less painful than having your brain and spinal column removed and replaced (unless you could find a way to detatch the nerve endings from the brain, although I expect that HP Labs are probably working on some kind of connector - now, where's my nerve splicing tool?). :)ChrisB ChrisDoesDev[^]

A small correction :)

Now that would be good. Just think how many brains you could add to your own. You could become superhuman. You could take over the world... Bwa ha ha ha.... :mad:

Other than the skull problem I highly doubt that humans have the technology to connect the nerves for the spinal cord and if that was solved I am not sure how well a brain will take to rejection as the body will try to destroy the brain being that it considers it a foreign object. I wonder if anti-rejection drugs have been tested on brain tissue.

That's one implication. The word 'I think' will then not exist. But then it depends -> If the body is 'I' or the brain is 'I'.
I believe if my brain was transfered into a different body and my body a different brain I would consider the brain to be me as the body does not think. Although I know my brain would feel weird in a girls body.

Yeah she does, but the brain is in some other place of her body, not in the head.

Take an example, If both of us changed our brains, I do your works. You do my works. When I look at my face on the mirror, I will think that this is not my body somebody kept my brain here. But you think that I am a ghost and I entered into this body :confused: :(:^);P;):laugh::-D:)

1. In case TempBrain not available what are the possibilities? 2. Either way I need to swap the content, if it is possible to just transfer the information it is good otherwise brain transplant will do.
Swap two brains without using a third brain[^] (Using XOR) MyBrain = MyBrain ^ YourBrain; YourBrain = MyBrain ^ YourBrain; MyBrain = MyBrain ^ YourBrain; :)

or like this ?
Yourbrain = Yourbrain + Mybrain Mybrain = Yourbrain - Mybrain Yourbrain = Yourbrain - Mybrain:)---------------------------- **** JOB23743 Submitted ****

No, no, no. Everybody knows that the seat of conciousness is the chakras, so you would have a new brain. be warned, the transfer may mess with your head chakras.
