Is the mind inside or outside the brain?

The theory emphasises that thinking also takes place outside the brain i.e. using the body to think and offloading information processing onto other people and things in our environment. — Freepik

The notion of the extended mind challenges traditional understandings of cognition by suggesting that mental processes are not confined solely to the brain but are, instead, distributed across the brain, body and environment.

This innovative perspective posits that the tools we use, the spaces we inhabit, and the social interactions we engage in are integral components of our cognitive processes.
