mind upload
Brain to computer
Mind upload is the hypothetical transfer of a person's consciousness, memories, and mental patterns from their biological brain to a computer or artificial substrate.
The concept appears frequently in science fiction and transhumanist speculation about achieving digital immortality or existence as software: After the mind upload, she existed as pure information.
Whether such a transfer would preserve personal identity or merely create a copy remains philosophically contested.
