If humans were nothing more than animals who responded to electrical signals from their brain, then that is all they would be - animals.
Personally, I believe I so much more than that. I believe I am created in God's image, and that is why I look to the heavens and dream of eternity. That is what separates us from the animals and that is why humanity has always aspired to find out answers to questions such as, what is the meaning of life, the universe and everything. And no, the answer is not a number!

Yes as a matter of fact. We access our own reality through electrical signals interpreted by our brain. Not that it is all under those signals, but if you want to put it that way, most if not all our consciousness can be ultimately boiled down to a change in electrical properties. But who am I, I'm a conscious being whose mind is altered and morphed constantly by my genetics, my environment and my own mind.

I am an agno-myst
and i think,
i am ultimately a consciousness or awareness
that descends through the mind
to control a brain and a physical body
through the electrical signals and chemicals.

You are who you think you are, and who you appear to be to other people - their perceptions of you. Without brain signals to interpret these things, and this is true of all in the animal kingdom, there really would not be much of a question of what or who exists and how.

The particular structure of my brain. Electrical signals are certainly part of it. ;) Not that it devalues what those signals and brain structure results in.

Research would suggest you a consciousness that can exist outside the physical body. For example NDE research and reincarnation research.
