Sheldrake’s The Presence of the Past explains a useful analogy where the brain is likened to a television receiver. As Sheldrake points out the complete inability for the materialists to explain memory (and it isn’t for want of trying) should suggest there is something wrong. In Sheldrake’s metaphor it would be like hacking a TV receiver apart looking for the programme.

you could also check out an article I have written, Consciousness Really Explained? from another angle, and also Henry Stapp’s Mindful Universe provides yet another angle in trying to drag neuroscience, kicking and screaming out of the nineteenth century.

In summary, Physicalism is a busted flush. We should have realised this in the first half of the 20th century with the failure of classical physics to account for the very small, but the denial (surely) can’t be kept up for much longer.
