leeww [quote]BringMeMyFix There must be a part for thinking about metres then.

[Quick roll on the drum] - [crash] thank you folks I will be hear all week, you have been a great crowd, I am signing photographs in the lobby later.

Of course there is a part of the brain that thinks about metres ! If you think it (anything) there is something physical that engages the process of thought.

All thought is emergent from the brain, it is epiphenomenal.

I suspect the concept 'metre' is spread around the brain as the notion of a metre is a little nebulous, but I would put my money on the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), located toward the top and back of the brain, across both lobes.

You write that as if it is a fact...? :)

Edit: By the way, I'm not saying that we have some immaterial soul!

Some philosophers like Daniel Dennett argue that the concept of mental states like thoughts and emotions do not really exist. It's called eliminative materialism.

I suspect you might of heard of it though since you referred to epiphenomenalism.
