Quantum models of the mind associate consciousness with coherent superposition of states in the brain. Some authors consider consciousness to be the result of a kind of internal quantum measurement process in the brain. In this paper we discuss the ideas of Hameroff-Penrose and Tegmark and their calculation for an estimate of decoherence time. We criticize the Hameroff-Penrose model in the...
We criticize the Hameroff Penrose model in the context of quantum brain model\nby gravitational collapse orchestrated objective reduction, orch. OR, assumed\nby Penrose, and we propose instead that the decoherence process is caused by\ninteraction with the environment. We consider it useful to exploit this\npossibility because of the growing importance of decoherence theory in...
