so what is the difference between the mind and the brain?
Difference Between Mind and Brain. 1  Most of the scientists and thinkers believe that brain and mind are one and cannot be separated. 2  While brain is considered to be a physical thing, Ã¢ the mind is considered to be mental. 3  Brain is made up of nerve cells and blood vessels whereas mind is not like that.
Brain is like the hardware and mind is like the software. But in reality, the difference between brain mind are more complicated than software and hardware. In our culture we sometimes use the words brain and mind interchangeably even though they really do refer to separate, although often overlapping, concepts. The brain is an organ but the mind isn't. The brain is the physical place where the mind resides. It is a vessel in which the electronic impulses that create thought are contained. With the brain you coordinate your moves, your organism, your activities and transmit impulses. But you use the mind to think.
