Mind / Brain

[Angrboda]

Correlation between the observable physical working order of the brain and evidence of consciousness is well established. While correlation is not causation, causation must perforce exhibit correlation. So the physicalists have the necessary, but insufficient, evidence to clinch their case.

I was unaware that the specific neural correlates of consciousness had been demonstrated.

Please point me in the direction of more reading on the subject, I am most eager to learn.

I am claiming the brain is the physical and the mind is the result as with the argument of the stomach being the physical and digestion being the result.

And, yes, the mind is observerable, at least indirectly. We see it as intelligence, personality and all the other things we associate with consciousness. And would have to say it is quite colorful!!!
