Well, the first clue was the way in which damage to the brain can alter the functioning of the mind, whereas damage to things like the foot or even the heart do not.
Later, as we developed imaging techniques, we were able to see how thinking different kinds of thoughts would alter the brain’s electrical activity and blood flow patterns, in ways that it doesn’t alter electrical activity or blood flow in organs such as the liver or stomach.
