The answer is yes. Therefore "consciousness" is at least partially explained and impacted by physical science.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Can your computer alter you?
How can it?
A physical science that deal with matter is miles and miles below the human consciousness therefore can not alter it.
All physical science can do is to understand how the brain works but to understand the consciousness is a total different story.
Nope, I'm right right right. Test it yourself. Go a week without water or food. Ingest a large amount of alcohol. Give yourself repeated concussions. Run your car in a closed garage. All physical (science) things that can effect consciousness and do have an explanation in physical science.
Maybe you don't have the ability to grasp the complete meaning of consciousness.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
