Is it possible to transfer bodies

Just be careful; this method could go wrong and implant your soul into the right side of the body of a white-haired attorney who looks like Steve Martin.

As seen in All of Me. Then crash your car into a storefront. As seen in 18 Again! Plant your fat, wrinkly, sun-damaged lips on hers.

As seen in Prelude to a Kiss. As seen in 13 Going on As seen in Big. When you see the janitor jumping off a bridge on your drive home, jump too. As seen in 17 Again. We remember experiences, emotions, and reactions that makes up who we are in our brains.

So, in theory, to move our consciousness from one body to another, all one would have to do is record all of the memories from one brain and upload them to another. Is that even possible? In short: yes. Memories are chains of neurons that, when stimulated, all fire at the same time.

For instance, the smell of fresh cut grass in a specific group of neurons that fire simultaneously, and the feel of touching leather is a completely different group of neurons. Scientists have shown that if you stimulate the brain with electricity, you can trigger certain, specific memories. The theory is that if all the neurons for a specific memory could be isolated, they could be recorded. Michael Maven, a British software consultant, told David Moye from The Huffington Post that the idea is "damn near impossible", not least because Bocanegra only has a team of two researchers out of a total five staff members and no venture capital.

You don't just simply plug it in via USB. Nanotechnology is not an answer, it's a buzzword," Maven said Maven. AI expert Andrea Riposati went a step further and questioned the legitimacy of the project, explaining that there was no scientific reason to think the technology needed would be ready in 30 years. Yes, it's super ambitious, but that's the reason why I'm excited to work on it. Still, there's reason to be skeptical.

Bocanegra's last start-up was a cross between Airbnb and OK Cupid called LoveRoom, which essentially got attractive people to share rooms together to see if they got on. We're not saying there's anything wrong with that, but it doesn't exactly give you the credentials to revolutionise an area of science that the world's greatest minds with huge teams and lots of funding haven't been able to crack.
