The mind-body problem concerns itself with the explanation of the relationship between the physical and mental abstract processes carried out by the body, and how an interplay between the mind and body affects each entity. The brain is a physically perceived object that has a specific function, which can be observed and exhibited via the transmission of electrochemical pulses throughout the organ. However, in contrast to this, the mind is a purely abstract concept, whose function cannot be proved by conventional means. This raises the question of how exactly are our surroundings perceived by us? Is it possible for conscious experiences to emerge from what is basically electrochemical signals? If so, how is that accomplished? Another query that arises is whether the thoughts of the individual and the body affect each other, and if so, how is it brought about? These questions have puzzled many a philosophers and epistemologists over the course of time. In an attempt to elucidate and explain these questions, they came up with two primary schools of thought - dualism and monism. Dualism proposes the existence of distinct realms of mind and body (or matter), while monism holds the belief that everything we perceive are the different manifestations of a single absolute entity, and every phenomenon experienced by us can be explained in terms of this universally common entity. In the field of neuroscience, many efforts have been made to study consciousness and explain it in terms of molecular signaling pathways that occur between neurons. However, these efforts have yielded no results because, the basic premise of consciousness being a biological process itself hasn't been proved. Hence the issue of gaining an understanding of the exact relationship between the mind and the brain remains elusive and unresolved.
