This is evidence (not proof, science doesn't deal with proof) that minds require a brain. As soon as someone finds a mind without a brain, we will have a reason to reconsider.
Let me fix this for you:
"Minds have never been shown to exist."
There, that's a little simpler.
I'm not convinced I believe this. Minds exist as a function of the brain. If the functioning brain is altered then the function of the mind is altered.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
