Parallel to psychiatry, "philosophy of mind" investigates the relationship between mind (mental domain) and body/brain (physical domain).

This manuscript is a reference work on the receptor affinity pharmacology of psychedelic drugs. New data is presented on the affinity...

In phenomenology this feature goes by the name intentionality, while cognitive psychologists prefer to speak of the representational power of the mind. Where does this power come from?
