Interesting subject. I like to think that the mind is something separate from the brain but then I ask where does consciousness go during general anaesthetic? * +

Goes on a well deserved holiday, somewhere. Then again I was expecting your usual there's no thinker, no observer,no experiencer, nothing. What made you observe and my read my comment is just in your head, I don't exist and there was no comment for you to observe in the 1st place. There's no topic and no prodigits either. Therefore if someone robs you, there's no thief. Nada. * +

The relationship between the mind and the brain is a mystery that is central to how we understand our very existence as sentient beings. Some say the mind is strictly a function of the brain - consciousness is the product of firing neurons. But some strive to scientifically understand the existence of a mind independent of, or at least to some degree separate from, the brain.

Dr. Dirk K.F. Meijer, a professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, hypothesizes that consciousness resides in a field surrounding the brain. This field is in another dimension. It shares information with the brain through quantum entanglement, among other methods. And it has certain similarities with a black hole..
