The debate about the difference between brain and mind has been going on since the time of Aristotle. The mind is considered a pure vibrant energy, while the brain is considered a physical manifestation of the mind. The above differences could have helped to understand how the mind and the brain are two different entities.

Typically humans are characterized as having both a mind (nonphysical) and body/brain (physical). This is known as dualism. Dualism is the view that the mind and body both exist as separate entities. Descartes / Cartesian dualism argues that there is a two-way interaction between mental and physical substances.
