Perhaps consciousness occurs as a result of quantum processes in the brain Bashny.Net

Thoughts inside mikrotrubochek



Stuart Hameroff - University of Arizona professor of Anesthesiology and Psychology. He believes that the mind - it is something more than just computational process. According to him, due to the work of quantum consciousness.



Along with the distinguished mathematician Sir Roger Penrose, Hameroff is a co-author of a controversial model of consciousness called «Orch OR», at the core of which lies the concept that asserts that consciousness is the basis of quantum processes, rather than classical mechanics.

The theory provides a new view of the reduction of von Neumann called objective reduction, which takes place in isolation from the other processes. This collapse of the wave function, according to scientists, is the only possible non-physical process of constituting consciousness. They believe that the process can occur within the brain microtubules.
