She received her masters and Ph. Daniel Amen, M. Traditionally, scientists have tried to define the mind as the product of brain activity: The brain is the physical substance, and the mind is the conscious product of those firing neurons, according to the classic argument.
But growing evidence shows that the mind goes far beyond the physical workings of your brain. Your membership supports a team of global Quartz journalists reporting on the forces shaping our world.

But your brain defines who you are. You are your brain. Brenden…what evidence do you have that what you have said is true.
You have made a rather bold assertion, one that has been debated for centuries, but you have offered nothing to substantiate your assertion. Can you please supply that evidence? As we know every different part of the brain is responsible for different task.
The mind is a receiver and recaller of informations, that are gathered then processed in different parts of the brain. Apart from that I believe that every decision we make in our life or even every thought that appears in our mind is conditioned on tens of different things, like our knowledge, experiences, emotions, mood or even our diet. Same way as drugs or alcohol influences our thinking so it influence our state of mind , other substances found in food let say serotonine in chocolate which gives us feeling of happiness.
If im wrong and there is no specific part in the brain that we could call a mind then I must agree with Brenden, mind is an illusion. Well for me , Mind, the consiousness is different from the brain in its identity , highly interrelated or dependent on each other. Mind is a formless phenomena. Empiricists such as Hume ruled out the possible influence of anything transcendental in our perception of objects.
Up to now it has been assumed that all our cognition must conform to the objects [materialism and positivism] but … let us once try whether we do not get farther with the problems of metaphysics by assuming that the objects must conform to our cognition[transcendental idealism].

If you believe in God or the word of God , then the mind is not just invented by humans. I know this post is old but it touched a sore spot with me. Soul, Spirit, Mind are they all made up by humans.? I believe that God is the super natural power that most of us believe in, however, have we ever studied God, spirit or even soul in science?
I think this is a science topic that we want to find the truth about. So we would first want to understand Mind and brain in the usual perspective. Hai Pawel…:- i just read u r answer. In my openion… We can not see the air but we can feel the air. Like the same… We can not see the mind but we can feel the presence of mind because of thoughts.
We have two brains right. Small brain and big brain. During sleeping we r taking breath with the working of our small brain.
We will get thoughts in the night time also… So our mind some whats related to small brain also. Ok anyhow our brain is doing lot of things like controling the body, store the memory…etc. In brain at some part, the item is called creating ideas or thoughts or dreams, making as think… Thats nothing but mind. So mind is a small part in brain.
If that part is damaged then we can not think properly. Its all just my openion with my knowledge. U can oppose or support.. Thats ur wish.
U can share ur openion through mail vasu. But that position was disproven by Kant, for example in his transcendental deduction of the role of the self in perception.
We think of our minds as what makes us, us.
