I have always acknowledged that there are unknowns in the relationship between the brain, mind and consciousness, but that is the nature of all sciences, and does not justify and definitive conclusions beyond simply the present knowledge of these relationships.
Brain, Mind and Consciousness: Advances in Neuroscience Research, (2011) Pter Bob
Neuropsychological research on the neural basis of behavior generally asserts that brain mechanisms ultimately suffice to explain all psychologically described phenomena. This assumption stems from the idea that the brain consists entirely of material particles and fields, and that all causal mechanisms relevant to neuroscience can be formulated solely in terms of properties of these elements.
Good so you are a dualist!
It is emergent from the physical brain - that is the only kind of emergent dualism there is.
I believe that distinguishing the separation of the mind from consciousness is problematic
Do you consider consciousness emergent from the brain.?
That is just stupid Shuny, of course a reflection in a mirror is physical, made of photons/light, and photons can be investigate. What is the mind made up of?
