Mind vs. Brain
The mind is defined as the information processed by the nervous system, which has evolved over millions of years. While the exact nature of how this processing translates into subjective experiences remains a mystery, it's clear that various creatures, from fruit flies to monkeys, possess a form of mind. This perspective emphasizes that experiences are natural phenomena, akin to Copernicus's revelation about the earth's orbit around the sun.In this clip

How does the mind work?
I am writing a book on body, soul, and spirit. One theme of the book is that the brain is a miraculous computer that processes stimuli but is incapable of conscious thought. In other words, there is a separation between the brain and the mind. I just viewed your interview with Dr. David Berson and wondered what your position is on the brain's ability or inability to create consciousness. I have read articles from numerous neurologists and theories of ancient philosophers about the existence and nonexistence of this separation. Most neurologists seem to agree that consciousness has never been measured or observed in the brain. My belief is that the mind is just another name for nonmaterial consciousness of the soul. I am intrigued by your depth of understanding regarding neuroscience. Do you have a podcast or article that addresses this connection? Thank you.
