Nowadays, the vast majority of scientists and philosophers
who study the brain agree that there is only matter
and that mind or consciousness is a property of our brains.
The challenge for modern science is to figure out
how the brain engenders or creates consciousness.
While the brain is easy to define as a soft tissue organ
that we have in our skulls made of about 85 billion neurons and their dendrites,
their connections to one another, consciousness
is one of those things that is much harder to define than to experience.
