The mind is a set of cognitive faculties including consciousness , perception, thinking ,
judgement , language and memory. It is usually defined as the faculty of an entity's thoughts and consciousness. It holds the power of imagination, recognition, and appreciation, and is responsible for processing feelings and emotions, resulting in attitudes and actions. It is also known that The mind is a powerful tool it is an electrical impulse which existed in the body of a human, As the brain dominate the body so does the mind dominate the body.

People often ask questions based on the relation of the mind to the physical brain and nervous system.
The Pre-scientific viewpoints included dualism and idealism, which considered the mind somehow non-physical. Modern views center around physicalism and functionalism, which hold that the mind is roughly identical with the brain or reducible to physical phenomena such as neuronal activity.
Someone once ask me which types of beings are capable of having minds. For example, whether mind is exclusive to humans, possessed also by some or all animals , by all living things , whether it is a strictly definable characteristic at all, or whether mind can also be a property of some types of human-made machines?
But it is generally agreed that mind is that which enables a being to have subjective awareness and intentionality towards their environment, to perceive and respond to stimuli with some kind of agency , and to have consciousness, including thinking and feeling.
More so The concept of mind is understood in many different ways by many different cultural and religious traditions. Some see mind as a property exclusive to humans whereas others ascribe properties of mind to non-living entities (e.g. panpsychism and animism), to animals and to deities. Some of the earliest recorded speculations linked mind (sometimes described as identical with soul or spirit) to theories concerning both life after death and cosmological and natural order. For example in the doctrines of Zoroaster, the Buddha , Plato, Aristotle, and other ancient Greek, Indian and, later, Islamic and medieval European philosophers.
