What is the relationship between our brains and our minds?
Studies have stated and I don't mean to say that brains or minds are simple; brains are
immensely complex machines-and so are what they do. I merely mean to say
that the nature of their relationship is simple. Whenever we speak about
a mind, we're referring to the processes that move our brains from state
to state. Naturally, we cannot expect to find any compact description to
cover every detail of all the processes in a human brain, because that
would involve the details of the architectures of perhaps a hundred
different sorts of computers, interconnected by thousands of specialized
bundles of connections. It is an immensely complex matter of
engineering. Nevertheless, when the mind is regarded, in principle, in
terms of what the brain may do, many questions that are usually
considered to be philosophical can now be recognized as merely
psychological-because the long-sought connections between mind and brain
do not involve two separate worlds, but merely relate two points of
view.
