This topic combined with Google's Project Ara gave me an idea. There is nothing stopping us from being able to "hot-swap" brains or brain modules.
If you need to do a lot of work one day or need to figure out an exceptionally difficult task, then plug-in lots of computing resources, then disconnect them afterwards to return to "normal".
Maybe even have a "think-tank as a service" that you can connect to. If you have a particularly daunting task ahead of you and need advice and collective brain-power then connect to a remote brain cloud and "collaborate", I'm not sure if latency will be an issue, hopefully that can be overcome.
Even defragging or moving memories or emotions around (or to external storage) could be done.
When unplugged these brain modules would be "sleeping" and would be fresh and ready to go when you needed to plug them back in.
The future will be weird.
It has been done at least once (with a man and his wife, for a limited period of time) so it's certainly possible.
