I often say to my students, if you think the brain doesn't create the mind, let me take a melon baller to your brain, I promise I can wipe out/remove any part of your 'mind'.

I wish this comment was higher up. While it's true that our personality and a lot of what we consider as part of our minds, is significantly driven by hormones as well, the number of pseudoscientific comments claiming that the brain is not the primary organ responsible for human consciousness is just ridiculous.

I like this argument. I think what this argument is missing is the question of what the mind actually is and where i, the observer, the controller, the one thinking thoughts, exists while the brain is functioning normally.
