The underlying problem here is that there isn’t only a brain. There is also a mind. The mind operates in conjunction with the brain. Its processes are simultaneous. The discovery of neurochemical brain functions, which modern research methods and technology increasingly allows for, is fascinating and worthwhile, but cannot in any way explain away the existence of a mind. When I say “mind” I specifically mean: the ideas and premises that a person holds; the values a person subscribes to (consciously or subconsciously); the choices a person makes in daily life, both in the ordinary events of daily living as well as the more extraordinary, dramatic situations that from time to time occur in life.
