The World According to Quantum Mechanics October 8, 2018 F. Beck
The first issue of JCS published an interview with Roger Penrose on his recent book Shadows of the Mind: A Search for the Missing Science of Consciousness (Clark, 1994). In it Professor Penrose, among other subjects, presented his views on the role of quantum mechanics on our way towards a better understanding of brain functioning and its relation to consciousness. In this note we comment on...

The role of quantum processes in brain activity has been discussed intensively in recent years. Some authors regard the indeterminacy of quantum events as key property to relate brain activity and consciousness on a scientific basis. Here we ask the question where quantum events could be effective in the complex cortical structure. We argue that only elementary microscopic processes like...
