	'''Epiphenomenalism''' is a position on the mind–body problem which holds that physical and biochemical events within the human body are causal with respect to mental events. According to this view, subjective mental events are completely dependent for their existence on corresponding physical and biochemical events within the human body yet themselves have no causal efficacy on physical events. The appearance that subjective mental states influence physical events is merely an illusion. For instance, fear seems to make the ~~heartbeat~~ faster, but according to epiphenomenalism the biochemical secretions of the brain and nervous system—not the experience of fear—is what raises the ~~heartbeat~~. Because mental events are a kind of overflow that cannot cause anything physical, yet have non-physical properties, '''epiphenomenalism''' is viewed as a form of property [[dualism]].
