心理状态，如思想和感觉是真实的。大脑状态是真实的。问题是，这两者不是以同样的方式存在的，这就产生了心脑对应的问题。在本文中，我提出了一个可能的解决方案，其中包括两个建议。首先，复杂的心理状态，如情感和认知，可以被认为是构建的事件，可以因果地归结为一组更基本的、心理上更原始的成分，这些成分更清楚地受到大脑的尊重。其次，情感和认知等复杂的心理类别是需要心理学解释的现象，因此，它们不能被科学抛弃。描述这些范畴的内容和结构是一项必要而有价值的科学活动。
Psychological states such as thoughts and feelings are real. Brain states are real. The problem is that the two are not real in the same way, creating the mind-brain correspondence problem. In this article, I present a possible solution to this problem that involves two suggestions. First, complex psychological states such as emotion and cognition can be thought of as constructed events that can be causally reduced to a set of more basic, psychologically primitive ingredients that are more clearly respected by the brain. Second, complex psychological categories like emotion and cognition are the phenomena that require explanation in psychology, and, therefore, they cannot be abandoned by science. Describing the content and structure of these categories is a necessary and valuable scientific activity.
