G'day Angelonavaro,

Thank you for your question.

There have been many notable people notable in the study of the mind:

* Plato and Aristotle - the first philosophers to first study the mind;

* Thomas Hobbes - although best known for his work on the state also one of the first people to develop a theory on the physical working on the mind;

* George Berkeley- considered the mind as a seperate thing;

* TH Huxley - merged Hobbes and Darwin; and
