> The brain, specifically the neocortex, contains the mind, and there's no good reasons to assume otherwise. It's equally possible that the brain, specifically the neocortex, contains the interface to the mind. And for what it's worth, I'm not assuming this is the case: I don't know. I'm just saying it might be. The difficulty I have with the idea that the mind is inside the brain is that I do not see how a bunch of neurons can give rise to self-awareness. I'm happy to agree that a bunch of neurons can compute arbitrarily-complex functions, and produce arbitrarily-complex behaviours, and produce the outward appearance of consciousness. But I can't see where the inward sensation of consciousness can come from.
