Exactly. Those experiments are not valid. The "brain" does not exist.
But I exist. I think you are making a category confusion. You equate
by default brain with consciousness, and because brain doesn't exist,
you conclude that consciousness doesn't exist. You are loosing
yourself in abstract thinking instead of acknowledging the obvious in
front of your eyes: You exist.
But according to you my eyes don't exist.???? And why would I imagine you
exist.?? You are but a figment of what I imagine is my computer
monitor...which of course doesn't exist.
You confuse your metaphysics because you assume that that your thoughts,
quale, are fundamental, which is fine, but then you think that shows
that nothing else exists.?? "Exists" is relative to a domain.?? I
arithmetic, prime numbers "exist".?? In common discourse tables and
chairs exist.?? In finance, credit and debt exists.?? It is all very well
to assume some fundamental ontology like quale or computations, but
nothing has been accomplished unless you can explain how this
constitutes the other things that exist.?? Bruno's theory has the same
problem except that he starts from computation and he at least
appreciates the need to recover at least physics.

Are you aware of the Grey Walter experiments that imply your brain
thinks of moving before your consciouness.?? Of course I know the
brain and Grey Walter and his experiment don't exist....and
neither do you.

But it happens all the time. How do you think you move your body
if not by top-down influence in levels from consciousness ?

Why has no-one ever observed the components of the brain
breaking physical laws? It should happen all the time and be
easy to catch if you are right.
