Would it be possible to say that the brain in some aspects has nothing to do with the functionality of the mind?
For me personally, I don't care how my brain works, it's totally irrelevant for me living my life, but what does this mean? To me it seems obvious that we have to separate the mind and the brain.
It's like this with a lot of things for humans, we don't have to know how our car works to drive it and enjoy it, and get places, but in the case of consciousness we don't have to mentally know /anything/ about even the steering wheel or the transmission, so to speak, it all goes automatically.
The steering wheel and the transmission would be analogous to our mind, not the physical brain, right?
If it is so that we can control our brain with our minds, in some way, are there any scientific findings to support this lately?
