TLDR The brain may create four separate minds, each with its own mental reality.
The document discussed the mind-body problem, highlighting the distinction between the abstract, non-material mind and the physical brain. It suggested that the mind might be an intrinsic part of the brain, capable of processing abstract data through dynamic associations with cerebral stimuli, despite the brain's inability to directly interact with abstract data. The concept of psycho-physiologic emergentism was introduced, proposing that the brain could generate four distinct minds, each with its own internal mental reality and interactions. The study called for further research into the dynamic and immaterial-material nature of the mind to better understand mental events such as emotions and affectivity.
