Are Our Minds Just Our Brains?

That was the title of an article in Scientific American.

Are Our Minds Just Our Brains? 

On the page is a video of a discussion on whether our minds and consciousness are no more than matter and mechanism. All of the speakers explain in detail why they feel that the mind is much more than just our brains. Very scientific and philosophical.

There was another article on the Institute of Art and Ideas website with similar thoughts, yet different perspective.

Why The Mind Is Not the Brain

If I remember correctly, my last thoughts on this subject was that consciousness is an emergent quality or phenomenon resulting from a complex nervous system... Time to think about this some more?
