Cartesian Dualism
René Descartes 's illustration of dualism. Inputs are passed on by the sensory organs to the epiphysis in the brain and from there to the immaterial spirit. In philosophy of mind , dualism is the notion that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical , [ 1 ] or that the mind and body are not identical. [ 2 ] Thus, it encompasses a set of views about the relationship between mind and matter, and is contrasted with other positions, such as physicalism , in the mind–body problem . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

Interactionalism
Interactionism (philosophy of mind) - Wikipedia, the free encycl
Interactionism is the theory in the philosophy of mind which holds that, matter and mind being distinct and independent, they exert causal effects on one another. As such, it is a type of dualism . It can be distinguished from competing dualist theories of epiphenomenalism (which admits causation, but views it as unidirectional rather than bidirectional), pre-established harmony , and occasionalism (which both deny causation, while seeking to explain the appearance of causation by other means).
