Well, you'd have 2 mental clones of yourself, essentially.
It depends where those neurons were sent off to in the meantime and what they were doing, but with such a big jolt, it's quite possible they would perceive themselves as "clone" (after understanding the situation at large) while you in your new machine self would be the "original you".
- colordrops 11y agoWhy would it be a clone, and why would it perceive itself as a clone, considering that it is made of up the original matter and in the original configuration? I would assume that a technology sufficiently powerful enough to re-assemble disintegrated matter into something as complex as a brain would also keep the state identical to it's original form as well. Assuming that thoughts and perceptions are completely physical, and the brain is the same state as before, there is no reason for it to experience a jolt or anything else that indicates something special occurred.
