A neural pattern, also known as a synaptic pattern or a brain pattern, was a collection of mental processes which made up a person's consciousness.
In the 23rd century, it was possible to make electronic recordings of brain patterns and place them inside cerebots. (TOS comic: "The Trial of Captain Kirk")
