Mind is derived from a particular arrangement of atoms and particles in the brain. We see, hear, smell, taste and sense external environment through our mind. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The mind is subdivided into components, modules or parts. The brain is an equipotent mass and divided into interacting but separable functional units. These components can be assigned to localized portions of the brain. |

Mind is not in the brain; it is non-local and all pervading connecting all individuals. |
|
|
|
The mind is not the brain, but uses a brain as an outer office. |

In physics action tends to provoke reaction. Because matter can act on mind so too mind should mind be able to react on matter. |

|
Perception captures the present. Memory captures the past. All matter including cellular or neural-matter exists in space. Its parts are spread out in simultaneity. Our past is literally spread out in space, which is also present. |

|
|
Neuronal activity is widely distributed in mind. |
|
|
|
Neurotransmitter belongs to the mind rather than the body. Because the entire mind-body system is a network of information. The axon terminal of one neuron secretes a tiny drop of a chemical known as a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters are used in different brain systems affecting our mental and emotional states. |

|
Mind is the mental processes involved in interpreting the sensory inputs and planning and executing its response. This no doubt involves attributes like attention, discrimination, memory, feeling, emotions, precepts and concepts, etc. |
|
|
Mind can to some extent be said to be a function of brain, but only if brain is understood not as the detectable macroscopic object, but as the quantum reality underlying both this object and the mental events of consciousness. |
|
|
Mind and brain are manifestations of and viewpoints towards a "single reality", but with important differences. But since the mind is inferred from the appearance and disappearance of thoughts, thoughts are the carrier of electromagnetic vibrations, the luminiferous ether. We could have the situation that the mind is an unnecessary concept and we should merely observe the thoughts and their transience. |
|
|
|
There are two separate functioning minds in one brain. Left-brain has a separate mind and right brain has separate mind. |
|
|
Mind is not in central cortex. |

The mind seems to act independently of the brain. There exist something like downward causation. It is technically known as 'emergent Interactionism of mind on matter. The dynamics and associated properties causally determine their interactions. The top-level system properties supersede those of the various subsystem's they embody. Mental forces or properties exert a regulative control influence in brain physiology. How does the 'mental force' exert a downward causality on physical brain matter? Once generated from neural events, the higher order mental patterns and programs have their own subjective qualities and progress, operate and interact by their own causal laws and principles which are different from , and cannot be reduced to those of neurophysiology ... The mental forces do not violate, disturb, or intervene in neuronal activities but they do supervene... Multilevel and interlevel causation is emphasized in addition to the one-level sequential causation traditionally dealt with. Lower-level entities become 'caught up ' in the holist pattern of the mind, just as a water-droplet is caught up in a whirlpool and constrained to contribute cooperatively to the overall organized activity. |

The fleeting nature of our thoughts is the phenomenon of electrons and photons traveling at speed of light. |
|
|
|
The mind manages to move the atoms of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and the other particles in the brain's cell. |
