Until you eliminate all possibility that information can be attain or processed without brain function, you can't suppose that the the all of the mental constructs (materialists call mind, some religious call souls and differintiate from personality and processing) is completely dependant on the brain. Death is a process for sure, but at what point does the mind cease? If there is even once case of verifiable information after this point (which is yet to be defined) then that would indicate a non-materialistic brain-mind consciousness. As of yet science is still trying to define that point I believe. one of many sites (it was top of my google search) But I don't think it's nearly as definitive as you're making it seem.
Please read my post carefully..
I did not say brain function was needed for mental constructs.. I said I did not see where someone proved that consciousness is independent of matter.. and then I asked.. Are you suggesting that there is evidence of an immaterial world that is not created or supported by matter?
