Is Consciousness an Emergent Property of the Brain?

A lot of people in most psychology, yes, one of them is, you're a materialist. They didn't start that way. I'm data driven. Im i had an argument. Materialism meaning you think that psychic function can be explained like other phenomena in nature,. strictly in terms of natural phenomena such as matter and energy. Another way of looking at it, the open question, which is hotly debated in philosophical circles these days: Is consciousness an emergent property of the brain, or does it extend beyond that ismost?
