...thought is a mere ' function ' or a ' secretion ' of the brain, for Professor Tyndall tells us that ' the passage from the physics of the brain to the corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable,' and all modern physiologists admit that though the brain process and the thought process arc synchronous...

...does consciousness infuse itself into this eternal round of shifting process? In Prof. Tyndall's view: "The passage from the physics of the brain to the...corresponding facts of consciousness is unthinkable." He says : " Granted that a definite thought, and a definite molecular action in the brain occur simultaneously...
