brain, mind and consciousness
The brain is the physical organ made of cells and tissues, responsible for processing information and controlling bodily functions. The mind refers to the collection of thoughts, feelings, and experiences that arise from brain activity, including perception, memory, and reasoning. Consciousness is the state of being aware of oneself and the environment, enabling us to experience thoughts and emotions. While the brain is tangible and measurable, the mind and consciousness involve subjective experiences and are more abstract, raising questions about how they relate to the brain's physical workings.
