Themind is that whichthinks,feels,perceives,imagines,remembers, andwills, including bothconscious andunconscious processes. Its exact nature is debated, like whethermental phenomena are internal activities of transforming information or dispositions to engage in observable behavior. Themind–body problem is the challenge of explaining the relation between matter and mind. According tophysicalism, minds are not independent entities but certain aspects of material objects. Theevolutionary history of the mind is tied to the development ofbrains, but it is controversial at which point minds emerged and whichnon-human animals possess minds. Similar theoretical challenges concern the possibility ofartificial minds powered by computers. The main fields studying the mind includepsychology,neuroscience,cognitive science, and thephilosophy of mind. Their methods range fromempirical observation andneuroimaging toconceptual analysis andthought experiments. (Full article...)

Galaxea fascicularis is a species of colonialstony coral in the familyEuphylliidae, commonly known as octopus coral, fluorescence grass coral, or galaxy coral. It is found in theRed Sea, theGulf of Aden and in large areas of the Indo-Pacific, oncoral-reef slopes at depths between between 2 metres (6.6 ft) and 15 metres (49 ft). Small colonies ofG. fascicularis often form low domes but as they grow, thecolonies become more irregular, massively hummocky or columnar, and may eventually reach 5 metres (16 ft) across. The individualpolyps are embedded in circular, tube-shapedcorallites less than 1 centimetre (0.39 in) across, made of a limy material extruded by the polyps. Lining the corallites are a large number of ridge-likesepta radiating from the centre. The polyps often feed in the daytime, and when their tentacles are extended the basic skeleton of the coral is hidden. The general colour of the coral ranges from green and grey to reddish brown. The tentacles are often a contrasting colour and are usually tipped with white. ThisG. fascicularis colony was photographed in the Red Sea off the coast of Egypt.
