In contrast, I described the dubious nature of proposed evidence for dualism based on communications from the dead, near-death experiences, and parapsychological capacities such as extrasensory perception. The one serious psychological phenomenon that might seem to require dualist explanation is consciousness, but we will see in Chapter 5 that neuroscience is beginning to understand how brains can have conscious experiences. Thought experiments about zombies provide no impediment to adopting the hypothesis that mental processes are brain process, nor do concerns with the computational and embodied nature of thinking.
