Just a couple points about the radio analogy:

  • If the brain is a radio, wouldn't it need to transmit as well as receive? Otherwise the soul wouldn't know what's going on. It would be nice to detect that transmission...

  • We know the brain undergoes change as memories are formed, etc. If the brain is a radio, why does it need to do that?
