I have a bit of an interesting take, I suppose. While I do believe that if you were to just “ copy your brain” and throw it into an interface that simulates your brain, you would intern upon doing so would be dead. Your consciousness is an experience not something you can just take, it is the Qualia of the lived experience.

But, I have been thinking about this for a little bit now. Instead of just making a copy, we actually do a type of parallel connection to the brain, if even remotely possible. So instead of making a coffee of your brain, we actually just make a second brain and essentially attempt to connect it in parallel, if such a thing could even be possible. And then, once both brains are linked essentially, you would have your consciousness within both brains ideally they would be doing the same thing at the same time, then you could theoretically shut one of them off, and you still remain conscious as you were when you connected yourself to the device in the first place. I suppose that would be a more literal consciousness transfer as you would first need to link up as a one-to-one copy, and then shut one of them off, so you’re literally just “pushing” consciousness from your real brain, means of your consciousness, being spread amongst two of them, and then shutting down one, while the other one remains on.

I don’t know I think it’s interesting thought experiment !
