Mind is the brain?

[bennyboy]

Is there ever a point where mind does not equal activities of the brain?

I can answer this. Yes-- the experience of mind is not a brain activity. Brains' activities involve blood flow, electrochemical signal transmission, the release and uptake of neurotransmitters, etc. Mind is the experience of things.

Now, it may be that mind is a product of those processes, or that it is supervenient on them. But mind is no more those physical processes than redness is an apple.
