Mind

You may be of two minds as you tour this site — because “mind” appears twice. One “Mind” intersects “Brain”; the other intersects “Time”. But really it’s all one: the mind is the brain and the mind is time. Or in other words, the phenomenological description of mind is the experience of time, while the neuroscientific description of mind is the brain. There is, finally, just one entity. We describe that entity using different languages. Just as there is only one painting called The Mona Lisa — or La Gioconda. Or only one author, Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens. There is only one mind, sometimes described using brain-talk and sometimes described using mind-talk, aka phenomenology. This is one version of an Identity Theory of mind and brain.
