Since you seem so reluctant to provide any actual evidence, how about I give some? Members here can draw there own conclusions from them.
You claim to have built the world's largest simulated brain - something that you hold the world record for - but I can't find that record anywhere. All my searches for "World's largest brain simulation" lead me Spaun, developed by University of Waterloo. Even more interesting is the fact that you claim to have simulated 700 billion neurons by Dec 2009 (date of the article), while by all accounts, Spaun's record is held at a meagre 2.5 million neurons by Dec 2012. Something doesn't add up here.
There does seem to be the mention of your name and your claim to fame in the very link you provided. There it is mentioned only in one paragraph in the middle of the interview:
"Ovidiu Anghelidi [Toronto, Canada] actually holds the world record with a 700 billion neuron simulation. In fact, his neurons are much more complex neurons as he uses what is known as the Hodgin-Huxley equations which can capture the subtleties of complex ion channels on neurons. Their simulation took days so it is not optimal, but if they had a supercomputer available this would be really straight forward -- no big technical feat."
Now this is where it gets interesting. Of the entire interview, only that portion is in blue text. Further, here's the link to what appears to be, judging by the answers, pretty much the same interview:

None of your claims are validated by the second source.
Also, I did search you by your name. I even didn't find your claim of "largest brain simulator" anywhere - except for a a forum where you have obviously copy-pasted the OP. I did find an interview, in which you talk about simulating the brain, but say nothing about consciousness or anything else. What you do say, however, is that you did submit some papers to journals and they were sent back to you - with suggestions to look to other journals.
Now, given all these questions regarding your credibility, tell me why anyone should give any credence to your claims of having "proven consciousness is external" - especially when you refuse to provide an iota of evidence for it.
