Mind =? Brain

Mind is software running on Brain

Some ”mind” things outside brain Sensory input Motor output Proprioception Hormones SOURCE: Cortical Neurons and Circuits: A Tutorial Introduction Richard B. Wells April, 2005

Mind can alter brain We can consciously build habits that change brain structures Popular with ”creationist neuroscience” to prove immaterial mind exists (bad proof) Jury is still out on current ”brain training”

Brain Training Brain begins to decay at early age We mitigate that by using our brains in complex ways Learn a complex game/musical instrument now and at advanced age Recent study showed Dr. Doidge's program effective in ”older adults”

Where is ”me”? Prefrontal cortex  Executive function

How many brains?

Mind =? body+ Brain contains maps of entire body  Even tools can be added to body map Sensory and motor neurons Hormones/Autonomic Nervous System  Sympathetic  Parasympathetic

What is ”me”? (Headology) ”Spirit,” ”soul,” ”psyche,” ”self”  Each incomplete  Complex enough that each metaphor can shed useful light Headology =  Practical Philosophy +  Practical Psychology
