The brain and mind are some of the most talked about aspects of human life that have been interpreted differently over time by various schools of thoughts. There are religious perspectives, medical opinions, spiritual viewpoints, and so on. But what are the brain and mind really? Individually, we sometimes try to rationalize the presence of the brain and mind. We ponder on their states of existence. Do they exist independent of each other as two major consciousnesses in one body? Or are they one whole interpreted differently according to perspective?

Before we begin considering the possible relationship and differences that exist between these two entities, let's take a look at the meaning ascribed to them.

The brain is a dimensioned mass of convoluted white and grey matter with a definite location in the cranium of the head. It is the organ that controls and organizes physical and cognitive processes in humans. The brain is a tangible entity, meaning it can be seen and touched. This feature makes it capable of being observed and studied. For humans to function optimally, the brain has to be at its best always, as any trace of malfunctioning can be fatal.

The mind, on the other hand, cannot be so easily described. The reason for this is traceable to its intangibility. The mind is an intangible entity (believed to exist without being seen or touched) without a dimension or definite location in the being of a person. It is these features ascribed to the mind that have caused many different schools of thoughts to spring up with beliefs of their own, each trying to conceptualize the mind as best as they can. To better understand the mind, we will consider these different schools of thought and their opinions about the mind.

In neuroscience, the mind is believed to be a product of the brain; with the brain said to be responsible for the rendering of the mind. Neuroscience argues this from the point of view that the mind is a constituent of brain activity, if it isn't in itself a brain activity, that is. Thus, the mind is just one of the many different goings-on in the brain alongside other activities.

The belief in philosophy is somewhat different. Philosophers are of the belief that the mind is a different concept that is independent of the human body. That is, they believe the mind to exist outside the sphere of the body and soul, meaning it shares no similarity to either components of the human entity. This argument is backed up by the fact that the mind is largely without a make or size and thus cannot be seen in order to be studied.

Another school of thought considers the mind to be an assemblage of memories, thoughts, and other similar abstract elements which influence human existence. On this account, the mind is believed to fluctuate between a state of activity and inactivity. This school of thought suggests that the mind is like a computer which is capable of gathering data from multiple sources.
