A model and mechanism for mind-brain interaction is proposed, combining extended Bohmian quantum mechanics with Avicenna's philosophical ideas. The model shows that mind and mental states can affect brain activity without violating physical laws. It is a mathematical and descriptive model offering a causal account of mind's effect on matter. The model respects realistic philosophical constraints, aligns with Libet-style experimental results and parapsychological data, and is derived from a modified non-unitary Schrödinger equation obtained via second quantization. Three methods for extending Bohmian QM through path integral formalism are presented, with numerical simulations of two-slits experiment trajectories distinguishing them, and one method chosen as the basis for the mind-brain model.
