If you define "intend" as "the idea to perform an action", then you further need to define "idea" and "action". According to the available scientific evidence (e.g. Alzheimer's disease), the way an "idea" is stored is within the brain. The brain is also known to be responsible for ordering your body around, i.e. it guides your performance of actions.
Actually, a more formal definition:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/intend
"1. to have in mind as something to be done or brought about;"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/mind
1. (in a human or other conscious being) the element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges, etc.: the processes of the human mind.
2. Psychology. the totality of conscious and unconscious mental processes and activities.
So... by those definitions, the thing (element, part, substance) that "reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges" is the brain. We know we can't do these things without it, but of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the originator. It could be just a bridge. But there are studies that show there is a ~6 second lag between your brain making a decision, and you actually making it.

If there is a soul or anything like it, it definitely interacts with the brain, and its role is much more minor than what you may think.

your link does not seem scientific. can you prove heart is source of Intend. and please say a clear definition of heart.

There's probably a dynamic connection between the mind and the heart and what I think is useful to me and what I think what is a most useful concept to many people is the power of our minds and hearts to be inspired and loved, to understand and care about the things and people around us which is also the resource of our power to right our world.
My attempt to understand the science of the heart and mind has so far led me to the Quantum MInd Theory (http://bit.ly/QuantumMIndTheory) and NDE research (http://bit.ly/NDEresearch). Perhaps a fellow Tedster can look in the TED talks and the research world and summarize their findings for non-scientitsts to understand.

but its is only and only a hypothesis.
also about NDE there is no scientific explain.
"Perhaps a fellow Tedster can look in the TED talks and the research world and summarize their findings for non-scientitsts to understand."
yes. I appreciate that fellow Tedster.

I do not think its source is brain.
