Newbie question ! Mind / Brain
First of all English is not my first language so sorry for that.
I recently started learning about neuroscience, I really enjoy it, I’m a little bit confused about what exactly is the brain / mind.
I’ve come to maybe a comparison to help me get a good image of it. So if I understand correctly, our brain is like a car computer (ECM) collecting data, experiences and taking necessary actions.
And our mind is like the car itself.
If I’m wrong or my comparison is bad, please tell me another example.
Thanks a lot, happy to be here

Brain is the organ, the physical blob sitting in our skull. Mind is harder to define – it’s the collection of mental activities. So the brain is more like the car computer, and mind the program that runs on it. Car is your body, in this comparison.
