Hippocrates offered his philosophical opinion on this issue. I am not decided upon this.

This is the reason why I think you might be correct;

If the mind is not a direct product/implementation of neural activity then it must effect the brain all of the time - as the brain knows/remembers consciousness. (Obviously this action could not by definition be scientifically verified as it would lie within noise/physical probability of events). It is therefore simpler to assume the mind is a direct product/implementation of neural activity.

This is the reason why I think you might be incorrect;

Philosophically, what is the point of the mind if it does not do anything?

Thanks for your articles MC they are very interesting. I am working on neural network software myself and have found some very useful references.
