Inducing Auditory-to-Visual Synesthesia @Jeff Haha, well I have a guilty pleasure Youtube channel, vsauce. Not exactly the most reputable source of scientific material, but interesting nonetheless. The question now includes a link if you're interested. The wording of the question was my own. If the terminology was not quite right, by all means adjust it. |

Inducing Auditory-to-Visual Synesthesia @Jeff I appreciate your interest, but I've decided to revert to the previous edit since I feel your contribution did change my question. I am essentially asking if there is a way make someone hear in color. Is there a term that you know of that conveys this idea better than synesthesia? If so, definitely feel free to edit again. |

Is there evidence that brain and mind are separate? @Dan Thank you for your patience. I can see now how this question might have seemed a little silly. |

Is there evidence that brain and mind are separate? @Dan Very valid point. So, assuming my metaphor was adequate, if you were asked what you thought about the mind-brain relationship, somewhere in your comments would be included a statement like, "while all cognition is produced by neural firings, the mind is considered separate from the physical brain because the brain's highest processes and functions cannot be adequately described by said neural firings?" |

Is there evidence that brain and mind are separate? @Dan Just reading this over again. I suppose a similar metaphor to oppose yours would be the following. You can study how a computer appears to operate by giving it input from its various devices and seeing what it does, and if you would like to know how to operate a computer that's great. The only problem is the user would argue that he indeed knows how a computer works, while someone who has taken apart the machine would scoff at such a statement. By taking apart the machine, the person can observe its inner workings as well as deduce how an outside influence could manipulate the machine. |

Is there evidence that brain and mind are separate? Thank you very much @Dan. I will check this out and as soon as I have enough reputation to up vote this I will do so |

Is there evidence that brain and mind are separate? I do appreciate the answer, but the obliqueness is completely unnecessary and slightly obnoxious as it was a straight forward question. Peer reviewed studies are all recorded and would be archived. I am wondering if anyone has heard of anything worth investigating |

Is there evidence that brain and mind are separate? For sure absolutely no studies though? |

Is there evidence that brain and mind are separate? Thanks for the answer. I will say, though, that saying "there is no evidence" is always perfectly valid if humans have not yet come across the answer. Where you would fall into trouble with trying to prove a negative is if you said something was definitively "impossible". |
