I assume that neurology and psychology will converge or one of them will be forgotten by the way side. I don't see how bodies and brains can be temporary vehicles for consciousness. If you mean that the state of our brains can be transferred to a machine in some sort of readout and that machine is capable of consciousness - then that machine becomes our brain/body replacement. A disembodied consciousness is something I cannot imagine.
Agreed concerning the need for a processing platform. Not so sure about the convergence of psych and neuro for same reason. If the same psych rules can apply to a consciousness regardless of platform, then neurology not applicable in that case.
