Abstract Many generations of scientists have tried to understand the concept of consciousness and all its secrets. We can't really define which part of our brain really controls consciousness so it is a topic that most people can't wrap their heads around. The most simple definition I can give to this topic is "when a being is aware of their existence and can feel, they are conscious". I create a situation where we replicate the human brain using computer components to try and isolate or even create consciousness. The closest we have come to really creating a conscience is AI. If we can make our neurons into millions of wires and use many interesting software to replicate our memory would we have a truly self-aware being? Discovering all the secrets of consciousness would really benefit our world in nanotech, and solving world problems from another perspective. I bring together the idea of technology and neuroscience to create and discover new information about AI and how human consciousness works. The idea of transferring human consciousness into a robot would be a new upgraded AI that would solve problems like aging. We would be able to transfer our consciousness only when we can isolate and understand the source of consciousness.
