I just viewed your interview with Dr. David Berson and wondered what your position is on the brain's ability or inability to create consciousness. I have read articles from numerous neurologists and theories of ancient philosophers about the existence and nonexistence of this separation. Most neurologists seem to agree that consciousness has never been measured or observed in the brain. My belief is that the mind is just another name for nonmaterial consciousness of the soul.
I am intrigued by your depth of understanding regarding neuroscience. Do you have a podcast or article that addresses the connection between the brain and consciousness? Thank you.
