Unperturbed

 Perhaps this is a testament to my general lack of interest in a lot of scientific inquiry. I have always held that there was more to life than science and what scientists decide, so I am left unbothered by a lot of stuff. Science also deals with the material world, and not the immaterial, so.....yeah. A brain and a mind/soul do not have to be mutually exclusive of each other.

  The thought of whether there is nothing else but brain was something I dealt with a long time ago (when I came across different philosophies while reading Sophie's World) and came to the conclusion that the brain exists, and so does a mind, a soul, a spirit (Just ask Asaase Yaa and all the people at the Nogokpo Shrine).  

This conclusion was also reinforced by religion (I'm Christian) and my own personal experience. And since what I have experienced in my lifetime has always been more important to me than what scientists say or what the general consensus in the scientific community is, I am pleased to let it rest at that.
