It's a lot better if we postulate that "mind is brain function". It favors a scientific investigation. Afterall, science deal with how things function. If we want to understand more about mind/brain, then the scientific method is better equipped than philosophy. If you postulate that mind is separate ( Dualism), that it can't be investigated by empirical method, then what will you say after that?
