There isn't an explicit mention of such seeing as most people know that these aspects are already part of the mind, if not the mind itself, but if you want showings as to whyLink?
Thoughts and consciousness being either part of, or just, the mind is self-evident
Quoting Empath manip (for emotions and willpower)
The mind manip part is obvious, and regarding the biochemical effects, those are either manipulations of one's endocrine system and hormones, and thus, the brain, or outright affecting the brain, with the brain being at the very least mind-adjacent in situations where it isn't outright the mind due to the mind being some degree of abstractionThe ability to allow to influence feelings and emotions. Usually associated with mental manipulation, but can sometimes be carried out in other ways (e.g., direct biochemical effects).
Quoting Memory Manip (for memories)
Already showed how Empath is effectively part of mind manip, and it affecting memories isn't that wild, considering what exactly trauma can doThe ability to influence memory. Can be carried out using empathic, mental, biological, electrical or data manipulation.
Empathic manipulation: Affecting memory through emotions. Usually very limited and allows user to erase or distort existing memories only.
This literally links to mind manip and thus is mind related on it's faceMental manipulation: Affecting memory through the consciousness/mind. Allows managing memory in a variety of ways, comprehending, modifying, deleting existing memories, as well as creating new memories.
It's the brain, so yeah, mindBiochemical manipulation: Affecting memory through brain cells, making it possible to manage memory. This may also include modification of memory by controlling the electrochemical signals of the brain.
This is the one example that isn't explicitly just mind-related on it's face, but if we go to the info manip pageInformation manipulation: In this case, the memory acts as a regular array of information. It can be accessed in a manner similar to accessing the hard drive of a computer.
So yeah, once more, is part of the mind.1. Knowledge: These characters can manipulate information as the medium of knowledge as opposed to just manipulating what a specific person knows, which would be considered Mind Manipulation. Characters with this ability can, for example, destroy information on a subject and by that make it inherently unknowable. Other examples of uses would be to prevent information from leaving an area, making it so that those outside can't gain knowledge of what is happening inside, or altering information to change what people know about the subject into something else.
That's enough to show that all that is part of, and is just itself in the case of consciousness, the mind, yeah?
