Not because you say say so.

You simply display your own ignorance of the relationship between brain, mind and consciousness.

What do Buddhists themselves say?
Home › Philosophy of Mind in Buddhism
This subject introduces the philosophy of mind and consciousness in Indian Mahayana Buddhism and aims to enhance our critical and philosophical thinking.
Discuss an discover more about:
- One of the most complex and interesting phenomena of the philosophical trends of traditional India
- Influences on the development of modern Asian philosophical traditions
- Metaphysical teachings that gives us a unique view of the Mind and the Universe
Discover more about the mysterious ways of the mind, consciousness, nature of self and the universe in this mind-enlightening course.'

As anyone can see, Buddhists themselves talk about 'philosophy of mind in Buddhism' so your objections are quite bizarre.

And given that human experience is conscious experience, as opposed to the unconscious information processing that precedes readiness potential, everything that we feel, think or believe is a matter of brain/mind states, including the Buddhist concept of enlightenment.

I already advised you properly & correctly according to reality: "Don't call us, we'll call you".

Insightful to observe one who believes they know all, like they themselves are "God".

Huge superstition.

However, a hint, including a quote for 'students' (newbies):

What I teach now as before, O monks, is suffering and the cessation of suffering.

Alagaddupama Sutta

1) Suppose we are asked, "What subject did the Buddha teach?

THE BEST WAY of answering this is to quote the Buddha himself, "Know this, O Monks: Now, as formerly, I teach of only dukkha (suffering, unsatisfactoriness) and the elimination of dukkha."

Whether or not this answer agrees with what you had thought, please take good note of it. There are many other ways we may answer, but this one saying of the Buddha sums up his teaching very succinctly.

The Buddha taught only dukkha and the quenching of it. This renders irrelevant any questions without a direct bearing on the elimination of dukkha. Don’t consider such questions as "Is there rebirth after death?" or "How does rebirth take place?" These can be considered later.

So, if a Westerner asks us this question, we shall answer it by saying, "The Buddha taught nothing other than dukkha and the elimination of it."
