An outstanding video documentary on the neuroscientific evidence for the existence of the soul as immaterial consciousness was covered in this thread.
This was entitled Neuroscientific Evidence: Irreducible Mind Part (1), at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOFGKhvWQ4M.
It turns out that Michael Jones has created the next video documentary in his Inspiring Philosophy series: Hard Problem of Consciousness: Irreducible Mind, Part (2), 17 minutes, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=908041256360370 .
This focuses on the Hard Problem in the philosophy of mind; primarily philosophy this time, rather than neuroscience research - a different avenue but the same conclusion. It is excellent as a lucid and very convincing presentation of many of the philosophical and logical trains of thought that have been developed that inexorably lead to the conclusion that the mind does not reduce to matter, whether the brain's neurons or anything else material. That all correspondences between brain processes and thoughts and perceptions are ultimately purely correlations and not at all due to physical to mental causation of consciousness. That any attempt to identify consciousness with materiality, material processes, matter and energy, is confused and a category error.
