Romansh: So if we could scan my brain whilst I am looking at something and somehow read what I was seeing then this would be indicative that information is indeed physical and not immaterial. Unless MRIs can now scan the immaterial?

> and something similar-I view the two links as over-hyped junk. Remember fMRI measures blood flow to brain areas, nothing more. On the other hand the dream or thought is carried by ions over neural networks, with modifiable synapses, many degrees of separation from what is measured when looking at blood flow. They are measuring the energy transport required, nothing more. Just because there is energy required to create thought, does not mean that the thought itself has energy. Interpretive meaning does not have energy.
