Abstract

In this paper, a number of outdated but still prevailing medical doctrines are critically reviewed, in particu-lar, Hippocrates’s hypothesis of the brain as a repository of all mental processes; I.M. Sechenov’s hypothe-sis of the psyche as a derivate of the brain reflexes; I.P. Pavlov’s hypothesis of the higher nervous activity as an equivalent of the psyche. In his research, the author refers to studies of feral children, studies of memory and contemporary views of the academic science on information. The author proves the non-materiality of the psyche and the role of the brain as a biological interface between the ideal and the real.
