Inside your brain does thought have asubstance?

Actually, the brain uses electrical AND chemical messages.  I believe this is one of the reasons the brain is able to acheive such complexity of operation.  Computers are not currently capable of that same complexity, and my theory is that the computers are limited by the fact they use ONLY electrical data.  By combining electical and chemical messages, the computing capabilities are expanded exponentially.  No source for this.  It's just my personal hypothesis.

Good question. I actually thought about this one before. What I realized is that it is impossible. If you are thinking of nothing you are still thinking of something which is thinking of nothing. See it goes around in a loop. The human mind is always "working". The only way to think of nothing is to be dead or in a really deep meditation (even that is impossible).

No...man loses his wisdom even thinking about it.  As soon as his little head starts to think - this can be many times in a day - all the energy is drained from his big head and is redirected into his little head. This is the point he  loses reason.  It's interesting to note, the recovery process is almost immediate after he leaves the specific area, drained. That's when he remembers he's married...or whatever

Have you not hear people asking HAVE YOU LOST YOUR BRAIN MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS \nSO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE\nPEOPLE WHO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS HAVE BRAIN BUT THEIR MIND STOPPED WORKING.\nBRAIN IS LOCATED IN HEAD BUT MIND IS REALATED TO HEART TOO

The answer to your second question is that the surface of the brain is folded and ridged. This increases the surface area compared to if it were smooth. Only the surface of the brain is used for thinking so having a larger surface means you can do more thinking.

Something is missing. Your brain maybe?

I think that both "minds" are extremely powerful however humans have yet to harness this strength.\n\nI think that that subconsiuous mind is excellant at recalling any memory, as it is very "discliplined" in this manner. However i think that the consious mind is great at problem solving at thinking "on the spot". So really, there are advantages and disadvantages to both "minds" and for this reason, there is no answer.\n\nYou could get urself an answer if u were to say "Is the subconcious mind more efficent at storing memories?"

No.  Our minds die with our bodies.  Our "mind" lives within our brain and when our brain dies, so does all sentient activity.\n\nThe REAL question is... would abstract concepts like "love" and "justice" still exist if there were no minds to conceive of them?

No. The way we remember things is not just localized to one specific section in the brain, but it is a combination of neural networks essentially. Even if it was localized it would be very difficult to make someone specifically forget this without hurting other memories. Plus at present time drugs cannot be used to work locally in one specific section of the brain...even though nanotechnology will help us come closer to that goal.

Only if you let it do your thinking for you. The more you let it think for you the smaller your brain cells become.\n\nGet a life cause obviously yours is lacking.

ITS ALL IN YOUR HEAD (PAIN) NO. MIND OVER MATTER. IF YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT IT THEN USUALLY IT WONT

Your mind is within yr body! \nThat's one thing. \nBut mind controls yr thoughts, yr memory, movements of yr body parts(locomotor function), controls sensory perceptions, sectrets substances that will allow hormones to be released-that's another way to control metabolism of cells and lots more.....\nBut still you can not separate Mind and Body !

The human brain controls heartbeat, respiration, digestion and other autonomic functions. It is the seat of thought, reasoning, and abstraction. The brain is what makes the cognitive mind possible such as perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories.\n\nWhile all that is good and fine if this is a homework question for elementary school or middle school just put down that it controls thoughts and emotions or something less complicated.

Yes. Think of when you dream. Your thoughts do not stop when you're dreaming; they just take on a different form. The left hemisphere thinks in words, the right hemisphere (the dreaming spiritual side of you) thinks in images and that's what you experience in your sleep. When you are in the dream, especially in lucid dreams...your thoughts manifest. In out of body experiences, just thinking of a place takes you there. But on a simpler note, when you are thinking about what you 'should' have said to the person that hurt you and you're consumed with that thought, pay attention, and you will find that your mind is giving you the opportunity to relive the incident in your mind to set it right...it is not there to fuel your anger and your consumption, but to give you the opportunity to 'vent' that. In other words, your mind / self FEEDS (follows) your thoughts and manifests them to satisfy them (to make them happen)...it's automatic...we just are not usually aware of that cuz our emotions cloud our perception of what our thoughts created inside our minds. Now if you want to take that 'thought' further, relax and give form to your thoughts 'visualize' the end result of what you want and it will manifest as quickly as your BELIEF allows it to. Remember, causality is not what we 'perceive' in the material world. Past, present and future are all happening at once and the effect precedes the cause and that's why visualization works. Good luck :)

For one you dont need to be able to hear to think, and thats what you essentially do when your talking inside your head.  Secondly your thoughts while you dream are not connected to your sense of sight.  From what I have heard your brain is wired to allow people to see what they dream, the one thing different would be that what those people see in their dreams wouldnt be influenced by what they see in the outside world

Maybe, if you meditate for a VERY long time.  Like the Tibetan monks; they do all kinds of cool things.  BUT, you have to meditate the right way, it's not just sitting there and thinking about whatever pops into your head.

Self awareness is dependent mostly on your frontal lobe, and your sense processing regions.  \n\nNo-one understands qualia, but we do know where it comes from based on brain injuries and defects.
