This question here my be a non senseical question, even though there might or might no be family resemblences with concepts such as mind, thought, thinking, ideas and brain. those it make sense in the sense of games to be talking of brains in these arguments. Wittgenstein's objections to applying words outside the contexts in which they have an established meaning mirror Kant's objections to the non-empirical use of empirical reason. Where as "brain" has empirical content and makes sense if you agree brain/mind are identical. Neurologically speaking the brain/mind is composed of electrical and chemical process but to talk about brain-mind is to take the concepts out of context, "In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant argues that when concepts grounded in experience are applied outside of the range of possible experience, the result is contradictions and confusion" Before early biology did we have the concept "brain" even though we had a brain. And since biology we have a concept that refers and belongs to the category science, where as the concept "mind" may refer to the usage of a concept in the category of philosophy. if you don't subcribe to the brain is identical to the mind then we have a cross categorial confusion.
