Is the mind and brain the same?

[SandyCat]

Or is there a separation of the two?

I always thought of mind as the software and brain is the hardware

The perfect way to put it, the mind deals with the interior mental processes (thinking, reasoning, dreaming, etc.), while the brain deals more with the physical processes (receiving electrical signals, maintaining synapses, etc).

 

[Mariposa2.0 LTE]

Brain gives rise to the mind and the soul is attached to the brain.

No. I have a brain that is structurally normal but I have lost my mind. They are different. Enjoy psychosis, stalker

The conscious part of you is in the cortex of the brain. Everything that you know and feel consciously happens when something in the cortex is working, and we can see it light up on an MRI. However, there are many functions of the brain that are not cortex related, and you cannot control or feel, but are important. Memory allocation, pattern recognition, limbic system, etc

Study biology you apes.

Thats a good way of putting it. Your brain and body is the hardware, your passive brain functions are like the operating system and your thoughts, feelings and actions are additional programs that run on it.

Mind run on brain but bad mind can fry brain and cause Bad Syndrome. Then instead of brain there is dark orb.

Mind & the bawls are the same

Mind & the bawls are the same

Thoughts are stored in the balls.

 

[SpergioLeonne]

A mind is an abstract, philosophical construct. A brain is a physical object.
