I bet the way a brain decides things can be broken down to a high number of sequential yes and nos, in other words binary. So that one day in the future, with more powerful cpus and quantum computing and ML models you could have AI mimic individuals personality.
Interesting thought experiment:
If you replace parts of a boat, is it still the same boat? What if you replaced every individual piece of the boat over the course of its life, at what point does it stop being that boat?
You don’t have an original cell in your body right now, each part of “you” has been replaced multiple times over. Are you still “you”?
The point of this exercise in panpsychism is that no, humans can’t be reduced to their individual atoms, there’s more to consciousness than being a collection of neurons.

right. thats the question to ask. is "you" the decisions you make? a Mercedes with a swapped engine is still a Mercedes. You are still driving a luxury car so if the intent of having the Mercedes is for prestige then its still the same car. If you consider the performance of the car as part of its identity then it isn't. So the question is what would be the intent of transferring neuron activity. If its to be able to have the same conversations or decisions that the original would have then it can be yes its the same.

Right so to answer op’s question, when you coom you do transfer a part of “you” out but that coom gets replaced and integrated into you again. That original coom that you expelled can never truly be replaced though because they were living cells that were created and served their own purpose, experiencing their own little consciousness.
