	mind transfer
		Mind transfer or uploading is a common theme in science fiction.
		In his "jewelhead" stories, the mind is copied from the organic brain to a small, indestructible computer at the base of the skull before the organic brain is surgically removed.
		The concept of mind transfer is similar to that of teleportation in that it raises profound philosophical questions about the nature of human identity, individuality, and the soul.

	Bambooweb: Mind transfer
		In Transhumanism and science fiction, mind transfer (also referred to as mind uploading or mind downloading, depending on one's perspective) refers to the hypothetical transfer of a human mind either into a computer or other non-human receptacle, or from one human body to another.
		In the case where it is transferred into an artificial body to which its consciousness is confined, it would become a robot, albeit one which might claim ordinary human rights, certainly if the consciousness within were feeling (or were doing a good job of simulating) as if it 'were' the donor.
		However, mind uploading is also advocated by a number of sober researchers in neuroscience and artificial intelligence, such as Marvin Minsky.

	MIND TRANSFER will extend human life and save terminally ill patients.
		Mind Transfer is a theoretical medical procedure where Physicians are able to transfer ones mind from one patient to another.
		Mind Transfer is a procedure that can either be completed on a full scale or by partial brain transplantation.
		The most major difficulties of Mind Transfer, in the present, is not only to develop medical procedures necessary to perform Mind Transfer but to be able to allocate human hosts who fit the proper ethical, religious and legal points of view.

	The Prospect of Mind Uploading (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Mind uploading is a hypothetical and actively pursued technology whose purpose is to achieve the transferral of a human individual identity into an artificial system via whole brain emulation.
		The transferal is done by scanning the brain, analyzing the scan to extract relevant features and constructing an equivalent reprensentation of the mind in an artificial system with brain emulating behaviour [6].
		In order to reproduce a person's mind such that their identity and self awareness remain unchanged, Whole Brain Emulation requires (a) that the mind is an emergent property of the human organism; (b) that the mind is localized to the brain; and (c) that both personal identity and self awareness are properties of mind [6].

	Mind transfer
		In the case where it is transferred into a computer, it would become a form of artificial intelligence sometimes called an infomorph.
		It has been proposed (http://www.ibiblio.org/jstrout/uploading/personalidentity.html) that modern fuzzy logic can solve those problems, showing that Locke's basic idea is sound if one treats personal identity as a continuous rather than discrete value.
		In 1993, Joe Strout (http://www.strout.net) created a small web site called the Mind Uploading Home Page (http://www.ibiblio.org/jstrout/uploading/), and began advocating the idea in Cryonics circles and elsewhere on the net.

	Mind transfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In transhumanism and science fiction, mind transfer (also referred to as mind uploading or mind downloading, depending on one's point of reference), whole body emulation, or electronic transcendence refers to the hypothetical transfer of a human mind to an artificial substrate.
		One problem with the mind transfer theory is that it might need a near to infinite amount of specific external stimuli since we humans probably have a very wide amount of different responses.
		However, mind uploading is also advocated by a number of secular researchers in neuroscience and artificial intelligence, such as Marvin Minsky.

	UW-Rock County Transfer Information
		Because the majority of our students transfer to baccalaureate institutions to complete their junior and senior years, a smooth transfer is of utmost importance.
		The University of Wisconsin Colleges Guaranteed Transfer Program enables students to begin their education as a freshman at the University of Wisconsin Colleges and be guaranteed admission to a UW System institution as a junior.
		Students who do not qualify for the joint admission program, or who decide on a major or transfer institution after the first two weeks of their freshman year, should be guided by the articulation guidelines provided by Student Services' counselors.

		When the transplants are complete the mind transfer is complete, and perhaps the next stage can be a moving of the resulting brain into a robot body or the replacement of parts of the old human body with new robot parts, however one wishes to describe it.
		What we have to consider in the case of human-computer mind transfer, however, is equivalence between a human brain and a robot brain, whether in general or in particular, and whether as a whole or in part.
		In the type of gradual substitution epitomized by Moravec’s scenario of the robot surgeon, it seems that the individual undergoing the mind transfer might be asked about what he or she is experiencing as replacement parts in the computer are substituted for parts of his or her human brain.

		The mind and the brain are inextricably connected, because the mind is an evolving dance of information, and the brain is the physical vehicle for that information.
		Normal information transfer from mind to mind takes place through means such as writing, speech, or symbolic action.
		Even if an outside mind could enter another mind, and directly read the information encoded there, it would not be able to extract meaning from it in the same way that the original owner of the information would, because the experience of the observer colors meaning.

	Transfer for Costa/draft
		Yet, far transfer is of special concern to education, since many of the settings where we would like youngsters to apply what they learn in school are not very much like classrooms or the tasks in classrooms through which students initially learn.
		Psychologists speak of transfer of learning when it is reasonable to say that the learner has learned something within a limited range of contexts (for instance, independent of physical locations such as classrooms 13a and 13b), but whether the learner carries this over to other contexts is at risk.
		Transfer to new situations is not easy and it does not happen on its own; it requires the mindful abstraction of a principle, the effortful search in one's memory, the selection of the appropriate principle and, finally, its application to a new instance.

		That is, the person before the transfer is the same as the one after the transfer, though the brain and body are different numerically and may be very different in appearance and ability.
		At other times “soul” is taken to refer to the mind (including the emotions and spiritual side), but even when this happens the understanding is that the mind is a distinct substance (as in substance dualism) rather than identical to the brain, etc. (as in the type-identity theory).
		Analogous to the main line teletransportation story is a mind transfer scenario in which a robot replica is created of me, with the robot brain a copy of my brain or somehow the equivalent, including storage of my memories, etc. My brain is destroyed as the robot is activated.

	Sun.Star Zamboanga - Santos: Peace of mind on transfer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		From all indications, the transfer or their possible uprootment from this city of flowers for transfer to Pagadian City was just a bad dream after all.
		The controversy over the proposed transfer of the regional capital of the region from Zamboanga City to Pagadian took root some ten years ago, when politicians trying to court the bigger number of votes in the Zamboanga provinces conceived of the idea.
		Such a transfer will reduce the housing backlog in Zamboanga as there will be plenty of houses that will be vacated for obvious reasons.

		Transfer of learning is pervasive in our everyday life at work, at home and in the community.
		Teachers have tended to assume that transfer of a concept from one context or environment to another is "par for the course"; the reality lies far away in a remote land where fairy stories come true!
		Without doubt transfer rests squarely on the shoulders of a constructivist view of a child's learning, and while this is not accepted by everyone and does have some limitations, constructivism seems to presently provide us with the best model for how students create understanding in their minds

	Analog -- The Reference Library
		In his 1988 Mind Children (Harvard University Press), Hans Moravec sketched the future development of robots, proposed that within about fifty years it would be possible to transfer human minds into computers, and speculated on the replacement of biological intelligence by machine intelligence.
		To him, robots would be the creations of our minds just as our children are the creations of our bodies, and since it is our minds that make us most distinctively human, our "mind children" would be our children in the more important sense.
		Yet Mind Children was very much a part of a discussion of the potentials of artificial intelligence and robotics that began almost as soon as the first digital computers began chewing their bytes.

	Autoduel Quarterly: The Mechanics of Cloning
		The act of transferring a person's memories to a clone first requires the donor to transfer the memories to a temporary holding device, such as an MMSD or the-storage units at a cloning facility.
		Special drugs allow full access to total memory, and the neural patterns are transferred to the holding device (less commonly directly to the clone).
		Sometimes clones are activated with partial memories, the result of a mistake in the transfer (or just plain bad luck).
