Several posts. Go back and look for the ones that quote the claims posited by Dr. Novella. "If mind is a product of of the brain, then...." E.g., break the brain, break the mind. The list goes on.

but which is at tension with transmission theory (consciousness is not a product of the brain, but nevertheless is "filtered" by the brain)?

See, this is the point you people continue to ignore, as if you've got your fingers plugged in your ears. I never said the evidence is "at tension" with this transmission theory. It's not "at tension" with a million other theories I could pull randomly out of my posterior. That's not how science works.
ALL of the evidence (aforementioned and more) supports a wholly materialist view of consciousness, with no need for any transmissions, be those transmissions from flatulent ponies or any other source. NONE of the evidence falsifies a **single** materialist claim. And there is NO evidence supporting a single (the single?) dualist claim. There is simply no need for that hypothesis (c.f. the Laplace/Napoleon dialog I paraphrased a few posts back).

Failure to comply with my request will unfortunately have the consequence of making me doubt the existence of this alleged evidence.

Oh that would be a shame.
