Brain System

The distinction between the mind and the brain is fundamental in philosophy of mind. The mind-body problem is one of the central problems in the history of philosophy. The brain is the physical and biological matter contained within the skull, responsible for electrochemical neuronal processes. The mind, in contrast, consists in mental attributes, such as beliefs, desires, perceptions, and so on. There are scientifically demonstrable correlations between mental events and neuronal events; the philosophical question is whether these phenomena are identical, at least partially distinct, or related in some other way.

Philosophical positions on the mind-body problem fall into two main categories. The first category is dualism, according to which the mind exists independently of the brain. Dualist theories are further divided into substance dualism and property dualism. René Descartes is perhaps the most prominent substance dualist, while property dualism is more popular among contemporary dualists like David Chalmers. Dualism requires admitting non-physical substances or properties into ontology, which is in apparent conflict with the scientific world view. The second category is materialism, according to which mental phenomena are identical to neuronal phenomena. A third category of view, idealism, claims that only mental substances and phenomena exist. This view, most prominently held by 18th century Irish philosopher Bishop George Berkeley, has few contemporary adherents.

There are only two choice. Either be a History Reader or become a History Maker.
Go as far as you can see. When you go there, you will see further
No tree is foolish enough to let its branches fight with the branches of another tree. Can man learn from the trees to live and let live?


There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. Do everything in life out of happiness, and not for happiness.
If you want to develop your ego. surround yourself with people who look up to you. If you want to develop yourself, surround yourself with people you look up to.
Lies need maintenance. Truth does not.


If everything about your life can be explained, then you have not lived at all
The quality of a sculpture is the responsibility of the sculptor. The quality of a painting is the responsibility of the painter. Then whose responsibility is the quality of your life? Yours and yours alone. No blame is allowed.
If you are starved for love, it is not because enough people don’t love you; it is because you are not expressing your love to enough people.


All the problems you face today are the small challenges you overlooked yesterday. Put out a spark when it is just a spark… else you will face a forest fire.
There are no right decisions… you have to make your decisions right.
Think positive… it may not guarantee success; but negative thinking guarantees failure.


When you know little, you are ignorant about your knowledge. In knowing enough, you become knowledgeable about your ignorance.
When you ask,”why me? why me?” for all your trouble, shouldn’t you also ask, “why me? why me? for all your blessings?
Without dissatisfaction, there is no growth. without happiness, there is no life. Be Happily Dissatisfied.


Birth was not your choice. Death will not be your choice. But, the way you live your life in between these two terminals is absolutely your choice.

Thinking is a higher cognitive function and the analysis of thinking processes is part of cognitive psychology

The basic mechanics of the human brain cells reflect a process of pattern matching or rather recognition . In a "moment of reflection", new situations and new experiences are judged against recalled ones and judgements are made. In order to make these judgements, the intellect maintains present experience and sorts relevant past experience. It does this while keeping present and past experience distinct and separate. The intellect can mix, match, merge, sift, and sort concepts, perceptions, and experience. This process is called reasoning. Logic is the science of reasoning. The awareness of this process of reasoning is access consciousness
