Abstract
We consider here a neuroscience-based approach to the following issues. What is the relation between the mind and the brain? Do mental, mind, events cause brain events? Do brain events cause mental effects? What can we learn from the relation between software and hardware in a computer about mind–brain interactions and how causality operates? The hard problem of consciousness: why does some mental processing feel like something, and other mental processing does not? What type of processing is occurring when it does feel like something? Is consciousness an epiphenomenon, or is it useful? Are we conscious of the action at the time it starts, or later? How is the world represented in the brain?
