Synaptic pattern displacement
Synaptic pattern displacement was a process relating to the transferal of consciousness to another brain. As of the late 2360s, it had only been achieved by Vulcans.

In 2369, Kobliad criminal Rao Vantika utilized a process akin to synaptic pattern displacement in order to transfer his consciousness to Doctor Julian Bashir, as Vantika's body was on the verge of death. The process worked, and for a time Vantika was able to use Bashir's body toward his own ends. Vantika was eventually thwarted, however, when Lieutenant Dax was able to design an electromagnetic pulse to disrupt Vantika's neural energy patterns, allowing Bashir to regain control of his own body.
