Are souls real? Are we something greater than the pattern of signals in our brains?
unfortunately as far as I can tell...Yes
human beings are so limited in general we will never know personally.

your dick length b limited
i typically like to think of it like everything i think is in my head since i can go unconscious and not remember anything during slepp but then i think how did i even happen in the first place and how can i feel things as myself and can "I" ever happen again somehow
idk man i probably sound like a 12 year old so sorry to waste your time

Uhh. Machine learning researcher here. Tl;dr: no. But your brain is just so complex and has so many neurons that you kind of are more than just signals.
To give u reference where machine learning in Neuroscience is right now, we have technology right now that you can strap onto your head and measure spacial temporal fluxes in electricity in your brain using (basically a 3d + time map of the signals in your brain). Using this technology (Electroencephalography), we can determine whether a coma patient is conscious or unconscious, as in we can determine whether they'll be a potato or not when they wake up.
Maybe in the near future it will be possible to get a complete profiling of someone just from their brain waves, and I have high optimism that this will eventually be possible. But for now, your soul is special <3

The soul is just a metaphor, and has been for thousands of years because we don't understand how the brain works entirely. This is why in movies and such AI don't really have much for personality or emotions; because we ourselves don't understand it. Also in movies and such where humans upload themselves into computers we usually lose our 'souls' because they're tied to our conscious minds, which is also why when you die it's just your body, not 'you'.
