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?
