If you ask the question “where is the mind located?” or “where do consciousness and cognition take place?” a typical answer from the layperson and most of the neuroscientists will be “in the brain” or “in the skull.” This is a usual view of our mentation: It is produced by the brain and is therefore confined to the skull. This theoretical perspective is frequently called “internalism.” Sometimes it is also called “Cartesian materialism”: The brain and its world are in a constant energetic exchange. The information that impinges on the brain comes through the sensory channels as physical or chemical stimuli. This is all that we know directly about the world.
