Soul is responsible for more than consciousness, however. It's also responsible for all the unconscious processes, and everything that makes a person a person.
No evidence exists that consciousness survives the death of the brain. As Dr. Michael Shermer said, "Talking to the dead is easy; getting them to talk back, that's the hard part." As for immaterial substances causing unconscious processes, one must wonder how such gets measured on an EEG? For instance, Broca's aphasia is very well understood, and the consequences to the victims of it are absolutely devastating; where is the immaterial soul in all of that?
