No brain=no mind. Consciousness isn't all in the mind--it's all in the brain. More--throughout the wonderfully complex neural net of the whole body, in all its cellular interactions. In a sense it's the body as a whole where consciousness resides.Are you a dualist then? Can you show us that mind posited as an independent entity separate from the physical nervous system is anything more than prescientific mumbo jumbo?
