Modern-day, more sophisticated versions of mind-body identity theory

embrace what some writers describe as "billiard-ball physics."

back away from saying that every single mental phenomenon that has a mental description has a physical description.

deny that there are any nonphysical entities such as minds or souls.

allow for the possibility that there may be some mental events--at the sub-atomic level of quarks, leptons or hadrons, for example--that are not physical events.

believe that experiments in neurophysics prove the truth of mind-body identity theory beyond the shadow of a doubt.
