I'm not sure this article is helpful on a SR level. Within the SR model, mind/body is not identity, but output like everything else created. Strictly speaking from the SR POV, there is no mind.

If you believe you have a mind somewhere inside your body, then the article has value, but from SR POV it's unecessary to consider how the mind works, because it's a created thing, it's output, it doesn't do any work.

If you were discussing how consiousness may work, that's different, but the mind is largely redundant. Where and what is you mind? Is it in your brain, is it the thing you use to think? No it's just a label for cognitive thought (another creation) Still Steve is very good at improving the state of consciousness, so it's all good
