Mind controls the brain, instead of being controlled by it

Firstly, let me discuss certain facts about the neural correlates of consciousness. The neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) constitute the minimal set of neuronal events and mechanisms sufficient for a specific conscious percept. A science of consciousness must explain the exact relationship between subjective mental states and brain states, the nature of the relationship between the conscious mind and the electro-chemical interactions in the body. But so far neuroscientists have focused only on body and not mind. Till date neuroscience has not been able to precisely describe mental activity in terms of the neural activity. So my opponent's claim that conscious experience is a function controlled by a certain part of the brain, will remain futile, unless he is able to describe exactly which part is independently responsible for conscious experience and how. In fact no physical science does accurately describe the functioning of mind. Attempts have been made to describe the "non-algorithmic" way in which mind works in terms of quantum physics. One such attempt is the Orchestrated Objective Reduction theory formulated by theoretical physicist Roger Penrose and anaesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff. But when there are enough unsolved issues in the quantum theory itself, I don't think it is a proper basis to describe mind. In my opinion mind is an independent entity and cannot be described as the effect of any physical phenomena. Rather, there are physical phenomena which we can try to describe taking mind as the cause. The following example supports my claim: There is a very common experiment, explaining wave-particle duality of electrons, in which electrons are fired through two holes and their arrival on the other side is recorded on a screen. The special feature of this screen is that each electron makes a spot of light on the screen, and the spot stays there as other electrons arrive, each making its own spot, so that gradually they build up a pattern on the screen. But as thousands of electrons are fired through the experiment one at a time, the pattern that builds up on the screen is the classic interference pattern associated with waves. Not only are the electrons leaving and arriving as particles, but somehow travelling as waves, but they seem to "know" the past and the future as well. If thousands of electrons travelled together through the experiment, it might be easy to understand that they could jostle one another into an interference pattern. But only one electron passes through the experiment at a time, and somehow chooses its place on the screen on the other side so that the pattern that gradually builds up is the classic interference pattern. How can each electron possibly "know" its rightful place in the pattern? If one of the two holes is blocked off, the electrons form one blob of spots on the screen behind the remaining hole. With the other hole open and the first one closed, you get a blob on the screen behind that hole. But with both holes open, the interference pattern emerges, with the brightest part of the pattern on the line midway between the holes. An individual electron, passing through just one hole in the experiment, seems to be AWARE whether or not the second hole is covered up, and to adjust its trajectory accordingly. Is there a mind behind it? I think it could be. With no other satisfactory explanation, I bet, mind is the best candidate here. There are higher states of consciousness than ordinary waking state. Sean O' Nuallain in his book "Zero-Power and Selflessness", in which he has done studies on the meditating mind, has stated that meditators often describe selfless states & higher states of consciousness than ordinary waking state. What the mind can do when it reaches it highest points of consciousness is not known and needs to be studied further before coming to the conclusion that it is limited and can't do anything without a body. The BOP now lies upon con.
