It's a little different, since we're talking about subjective experience. Maybe we will discover that the mind is a kind of field and we can manipulate that field directly or create one electronically or something. But the philosophical difficulties of studying mind are much harder, IMO, than those in starting astronomy or physics.
That being said, there has been a lot of very interesting science going on around mind in the last 20 years, so I certainly don't want you guys to think I don't value that. The problem I have is when it comes to assertions about exactly what causes mind and why-- I don't find any current views, physical or otherwise, very convincing.
