I don't deny that brains need energy, much less that brains need matter.  Nor do I deny that heat is molecules of matter in motion or that electricity is electrons in motion.  But if mind & matter are two sides of the same coin, then how do we complete the equation: mind is __________.  Matter in motion?  Energy in the brain?
