If consciousness doesn't reside the brain, like mysterygal said your personality still does. Doesn't your personality govern how your consciousness interprets things, makes decisions, etc? What of that can remain if the physical structures in the brain that encode it have gone? Wouldn't it just be an empty, undefined consciousness?
