This is where the mind comes from

The Mind is used to describe mental activity that exists both objectively in the brain and subjectively in consciousness.

When discussing psychology we sometimes talk about our subjective, emotional experiences and thoughts, which are manifestations of our objective brain activity.

When strictly speaking of subjective experience, the wiki will refer to consciousness. Then referencing observable neural activity it will refer to the brain. And when the distinction is not relevant to the topic at hand then mind will be used.

If you talk about how does the mind work you must consider both the function of the brain and the experience of consciousness, as well as how the two interact and influence each other.
