A quantum approach to visual consciousness.
Trends in Cognitive Sciences November 1, 2001 Nancy J. Woolf, Stuart Hameroff
A theoretical approach relying on quantum computation in microtubules within neurons can potentially resolve the enigmatic features of visual consciousness, but raises other questions. For example, how can delicate quantum states, which in the technological realm demand extreme cold and isolation to avoid environmental 'decoherence', manage to survive in the warm, wet brain? And if such states...
