In the YouTube comments section of a video covering evidence for consciousness not being produced by the brain, there were several comments that caught my eye. The usual cynical, uninformed lot of course, but then there were also commenters who claimed that consciousness is produced by the brain because there have been experiments conducted showing how electromagnetic waves can affect a person's behaviour and mindset to the point of 'altering their morality and memories'. I'm not sure if this has been discussed here before and has anything to do with the materialist 'feedback loop theory' that argues that the brain can achieve complex levels of consciousness, among other things, via feedback loops.
What are your thoughts on this and has anybody heard of such examples?

As noted here there's a good reason to reject this is proof materialism/physicalism is true, given these skeptical parties that continue to doubt the physicalist/materialist faith.
Additionally, whatever is shown by parapsychology or neuroscience, here are four good reasons to reject the religion of physicalism/materialism.
