For thousands of years scientists and philosophers have thought about the following question: how can we combine mind and brain – two quite distinct entities? At first, this question might appear meaningless, but trust me: it is a hard one, perhaps one of the biggest problems in science and philosophy today. Although our language is filled with dualistic terminology inherited from Descartes and religion, our science seems to be telling us that everything can be reduced to matter.
Good review; sounds technical.
