@1:33,
Not necessarily. If there is a great mathematician who needs a calculator to perform complex calculations and algorithms, I'd contend that the calculator is an extension of his brain, but not of his mind. The mind is the information behind the brain, but it is not an anatomic synonym.
Rather than the mind and brain being either completely separate or completely synonymous, the brain and the mind are both distinct components of the same thing, like a vector or a complex number.

@SangMarocain "is the Mind purely a function of the Brain ?"
Nobody knows for sure, but based on what we know about the brain's important functions and neuroscience, it seems that the mind is obviously only an affect that is given off by the brain. Just like how you cannot have sight without the eye, you cannot have mind without the brain.

Is the concept of a computer made out of happiness incoherent? Then so is mind-body dualism.

The brain and mind are not the same thing, that doesn't mean that the mind can operate without the brain. I mean sight and eyes are not the same thing, but you still can't have sight without the eyes...
