The discussion revolves around the distinction between the brain and the mind, exploring whether the mind can signify events outside the human brain. Participants express a desire for clarity on these concepts, which straddle the boundaries of biology and philosophy.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the definitions or distinctions between the brain and mind, and the discussion remains unresolved with multiple viewpoints presented.
There is an acknowledgment of the lack of rigorous scientific definitions for key terms like "consciousness" and "mind," which may limit the discussion's clarity.

nouveau_riche said:question is
how is brain different from mind?
can mind signify events outside human brain?
The question has been sufficiently answered here. Endless wandering wonderings have been posted in Philosophy on this question, so this thread is closed.mishrashubham said:The brain as an organ is tangible and everything that the brain does can be explained through interactions between the billions of neurons inside and outside it. The mind on the other hand is a function of our consciousness , and this is something that science struggles to explain. We don't even have a rigorous scientific definition of "consciousness", "mind" and the like. And it is for these reasons, I'm afraid, this thread might belong in the philosophy forum.
