Exactly.
Given the effects on the brain of everything from LSD, alcohol, the electromagnetic "God Helmet" to Alzheimer's , all causing direct physical/chemical changes in the brain, it is obvious our "being" is the result of those same chemical processes in the brain.
How it all works is vastly complex, but there is no reason to think anything other than physical processes are involved.
