What if the brain does not create consciousness?

Christof Koch is investigating the long-standing mystery of how the brain generates conscious experience. He questions whether the brain is solely responsible for creating consciousness, suggesting that materialism has not yet provided a satisfactory solution. Koch's research delves into enigmatic phenomena like near-death experiences and terminal lucidity, which may indicate that consciousness is an inherent aspect of reality. His work implies that consciousness may be a fundamental component of the universe, rather than a product of brain activity.
