If you want to consider the relationship between our minds and our brains, there are many literary works that address it.
I was fascinated by Amit Goswami's book, "The Self Aware Universe", in which he explains to my satisfaction, consciousness is a quantum event that must "collapse" to produce a thought. It applies the theory that there is a higher consciousness which is non-local, and the lower consciousness which "attaches" to our egoic awareness.
I've read further works (online) specifically; "Conscious Events as Orchestrated Space-Time Selections", by Stewart Hameroff & Roger Penrose that addresses (theoretically) how the actual quantum events (wave forms) of consciousness are captured in our neurons by microtubules and routed through our biology to ultimately construct thoughts.
These two works allow me to "bridge the gap" between physical and metaphysical functions of consciousness.
