Define the mind-body problem, and explain how researchers have tried to solve it.
What will be an ideal response?
The mind-body problem is a philosophical argument. Dualists believe that a person's mind and his or her brain are two separate entities. In other words, not all behavior can be explained in terms of brain activity.
Researchers have tried to track subjects' brain activity while they perform tasks. However, critics say that these tasks (including pushing buttons and recognizing individual words) are too simple to show a precise connection between brain activity and complex tasks such as driving a car or having a conversation.
