The Feasibility of Human Brain Transplantation into a Cybernetic Body: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Technological Inquiry

This paper presents a rigorous, multidisciplinary analysis of the theoretical, technological, and philosophical feasibility of transplanting a human brain into a fully cybernetic body. Drawing upon insights from neuroscience, bioengineering, robotics, and the philosophy of mind, it demonstrates that, although brain transplantation remains currently impossible in a purely biological host, a cybernetic framework could allow for the functional continuity of consciousness. In this model, the preserved brain would serve as the central control organ, interfacing seamlessly with sensors, actuators, and bidirectional neural networks. Ethical, ontological, and identity-related implications are thoroughly examined. Temporal projections suggest that partial implementations may be achievable by 2200–2250, with full transplantation into a cybernetic body conceivable by 2300. This study provides a conceptual foundation for post-human evolution, exploring the integration of biological substrates with artificial intelligence.

Abstract

This paper presents a rigorous, multidisciplinary analysis of the theoretical, technological, and philosophical feasibility of transplanting a human brain into a fully cybernetic body. Drawing upon insights from neuroscience, bioengineering, robotics, and the philosophy of mind, it demonstrates that, although brain transplantation remains currently impossible in a purely biological host, a cybernetic framework could allow for the functional continuity of consciousness. In this model, the preserved brain would serve as the central control organ, interfacing seamlessly with sensors, actuators, and bidirectional neural networks. Ethical, ontological, and identity-related implications are thoroughly examined. Temporal projections suggest that partial implementations may be achievable by 2200–2250, with full transplantation into a cybernetic body conceivable by 2300. This study provides a conceptual foundation for post-human evolution, exploring the integration of biological substrates with artificial intelligence.
