mind transfer (n.)
is the hypothetical futuristic process of scanning the mental state (including long-term memory and "self") of a particular brain substrate and copying it to a computer. The computer could then run a simulation model of the brain's information processing, such that it would respond in essentially the same way as the original brain (i.e., indistinguishable from the brain for all relevant purposes) and experience having a conscious mind.
In theory, if the information and processes of the mind can be disassociated from the biological body, they are no longer tied to the individual limits and lifespan of that body. Furthermore, information within a brain could be partly or wholly copied or transferred to substrates.
mind transfer would probably result in the death of the original person's brain, while only outside observers can maintain the illusion of the original person still being alive. For it is implausible to think that one's consciousness would leave one's brain and travel to a remote location.
mind (n.)
"that which feels, wills, and thinks; the intellect," late 12c., mynd, from Old English gemynd "memory, remembrance; state of being remembered; thought, purpose; conscious mind, intellect, intention,"
transfer (v.)
late 14c., from Old French transferer or directly from Latin transferre "bear across, carry over, bring through; transfer, copy, translate," from trans "across, beyond" (see trans-) + ferre "to carry," from PIE root *bher- (1) "to carry," also "to bear children." Related: Transferred; transferring.

The entrance to the enclosed tabernacle was guarded by two gold lions that gazed at those who entered. Each pair of columns was connected by a gold garland of acanthus leaves that hung down from the capitals. [1] To call for the heroic stance of pushing things to the limit in order to "leave behind" our everyday, our fallen existence (one must "subjectivize one's own death" by casting off the wealth of imaginary identifications, thereby attaining the limit position of a pure subject without an ego. [2] From there, the sculpture can be seen flooded by an avalanche of terrible light, brighter and clearer because of its contrast with the semidarkness of the corridor where the spectator stands. [3] Thus after observing first the general picture, one has to start walking, take a moment to observe again, and then move closer to perceive the details. [4] In a word, we perceive some notion of the diminution of objects, but without any knowledge of the invariable rules, to which it ought to be subject; or a right understanding of the effects of light. [5] Such an investigation into the first efforts of our faculty of cognition to mount from particular perceptions to general conceptions is undoubtedly of great utility.[6] And although we have well traveled roads before our eyes, we try to proceed along byways, for in our own language the function of which, as of all other languages, is to express well and clearly what the mind conceives we take pleasure in what is obscure. [7] This time, we humans are not shocked to learn that the Earth no longer occupies the center and that it spins aimlessly around the Sun; no, if we are so profoundly shocked, it is on the contrary because we find ourselves at the center of its little universe, and because we are imprisoned in its minuscule local atmosphere.[8] The essence of intention in this sense is freedom, though intention isn't consciousness by a long shot.[3] The first articulation concerns content, the second expression.

perceive (v.), conceive (v.)
perceive (v.) c. 1300, via Anglo-French parceif, Old North French *perceivre (Old French perçoivre) "perceive, notice, see; recognize, understand," from Latin percipere "obtain, gather, seize entirely, take possession of," also, figuratively, "to grasp with the mind, learn, comprehend," literally "to take entirely," from per "thoroughly" (see per) + capere "to grasp, take," from PIE root *kap- "to grasp."
conceive (v.) late 13c., conceiven, "take (seed) into the womb, become pregnant," from stem of Old French conceveir (Modern French concevoir), from Latin concipere (past participle conceptus) "to take in and hold; become pregnant" (source also of Spanish concebir, Portuguese concebre, Italian concepere), from con-, here probably an intensive prefix (see con-), + combining form of capere "to take," from PIE root *kap- "to grasp."
to perceiveis the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses
to conceive is the ability to form something in the mind and to develop an understanding.
Immanuel Kant distinguished transcendental apperception from empirical apperception. The first is the perception of an object as involving the consciousness of the pure self as subject--"the pure, original, unchangeable consciousness that is the necessary condition of experience and the ultimate foundation of the unity of experience." The second is "the consciousness of the concrete actual self with its changing states", the so-called "inner sense.” Transcendental apperception is almost equivalent to self-consciousness; the existence of the ego may be more or less prominent, but it is always involved.
