Consciousness outside of the brain

I think the points raised about the timing of the origins of these memories is an important one. Research has shown episodic memory (memory for events) to be highly reconstructive, and thus open to many influences (references available upon request). People are only able to report these incidents after they "awake" from their experience. Thus, the timing of things is certainly an issue that needs to be addressed.Another point is that, even if there is an immaterial soul that is separate from the brain, if the two work together, they need to stay "in sync." (if you want an explanation of why this is true, I can explain). Thus, in order to really propose an immaterial soul, you need some mechanism for this immaterial soul to "update" the brain with it's "out-of-brain" experiences. So, that mechanism needs to be explicated. Otherwise, the model (soul + brain are interacting in a causal way) falls apart.Thoughts?Ben
