Brain activity.
Humans and many other animals experience sensory stimuli. Some animals have memory, can deliberate, draw inferences, etc..
Scientists can electronically stimulate brain regions to trigger sensations, including feeling of religious presence.
While there's still much to learnabout how the brain works, evidence is overwhelming that it is the seat of consciousness, not some voodoo extraphysical stuff.
We cannot locate conscioussness or thoughts. We can however quite easily verify there is a lot of interconnectiveness. We cannot locate memory either although we can verify that damaging certain parts of the brain decreases memory function.

I'm the worlds worst buddhist which Is why I've ended up in place, but I have close relationship with a family that I consider to be the most enlightened family in the western world in a buddhist sense and they are crazily clairvoyant which I have experienced countless times. They've done their very best to keep me from ending up where I have, but here now anyway. I'd much prefer to believe though that it's lights out when we die or we go to heaven. Unfortunately it's not what I believe.
I know personal testimony has little scientific value, but examples of their clairvoyance recently would be, when I was becoming determined to commit suicide, I had chosen to do it by Heroin and Morphine although I didn't have the goods yet. I only told this to a psychologist at the hospital and know one else.
When I visited the buddhist couple next time after that, they randomly started talking about how people abuse heroin and morphine while giving me the eye. Later when I had procurred heroin and morphine and I visited them again, the husband who is a world renowned buddhist teacher and translator, started randomingly talking about how Jimi Hendrix died, who I believed died partially from a heroin OD, while his wife looked at me very angrily, which made me confess my plans, and they informed the hospital.
It's kind of difficult to explain, because they don't say "I am clairvoyant and therefore I will tell you x and x". If you enter a master/student relationship with a geniuenly enlightened and clairvoyant teacher, their clairvoyance, simply naturally becomes apparent after a while.
His wife has flat out admitted that she can see pretty much everything when I asked her although they rarily do that. They live a buddhist tradition called "secret yogi" where you may be a fully awakened buddha on the inside, but hide it, so your appear as a normal person on the outside. It's only when you have close relationship that you get to experience some of their supramundane qualities.
