The type of conversation I like to have with AI

User In a universe of waves (and a wave particle duality), is there any hard evidence against a model of human (and other) brains as a receiver of external signals?

To be more explicit, what is to say that some computations aren't happening outside our brains, and we are receiving pre processed signals from an external source?

Are there hypothesis out there, with attempted peer reviewed esearch and experiments in this area? ChatGPT The idea that the brain acts as a receiver for external signals, rather than generating consciousness internally, has been a topic of philosophical discussion and even speculation within some scientific circles. However, as of my knowledge cut-off date in September 2021, there is no robust scientific evidence to support this idea.
