Post The impossibility of thought

So, thought occurs in the brain, which is a complex system of neurons and chemicals that are all in delicate balance, shooting electricity back and forth, but at what point do the laws of physics stop and thought begin? If our thoughts are formed by our brain, and our brain is composed of entirely things which obey the laws of physics, aren't our thoughts controlled by the laws of physics? At least, that's what I think...

Re: The impossibility of thought

Possibly, albeit such complexity as to be almost incomprehensible to look at by means of physical laws. that's why we have laws of psychology instead. just like the topic on QT and GR. you try to use the most practical ones.

Re: The impossibility of thought

How the brain works and the creation of thoughts can be explained physically. You should read and introductory text on neuropsychology. Here is one that's even on line. http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=97898103
