AI Thread Summary
The mind encompasses consciousness, subconsciousness, and unconsciousness, playing a crucial role in perception, emotions, reasoning, and decision-making. It is viewed as an abstract and intangible counterpart to the physical brain, which is a concrete biological organ. There is no definitive biological definition of the mind, as it does not exist in the physical realm. The relationship between the mind and human behavior is significant, influencing actions and responses. Understanding this connection is essential for exploring the complexities of human psychology.

The mind is is responsible for your consciousness, subconsciousness and unconsciousness; it perceives things, deals with emotions, feelings, reasoning, logic... it enables you to make decisions on what your physical body responds to, etc... I don't think there is a biological definition of the mind, since it doesn't exactly exist in the physical world... Correct me if I'm wrong.

The brain is your physical, concrete, biological organ located between your ears. =)

Simplistically speaking, the mind is the abstract, intangible counterpart of the physical brain.
 
Thank you

But is the mind related to human behaviors ?
