But our bodies generate energy do they not? Where does all that energy go once the brain and body ceases functioning? Does it disperse into the environment, change form, or go somewhere else completely?
The concious/unconcious experience of living as a human being and the cognitive functions of the brain that allow us to do everything are not the same thing, and even if the latter is directly effected by changes in the brain, the former is something that does not change at all bar the complete shutdown of the entire biological system of a lifeform.
