Importance of quantum decoherence in brain processes.

Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics April 2000 M Tegmark

Based on a calculation of neural decoherence rates, we argue that the degrees of freedom of the human brain that relate to cognitive processes should be thought of as a classical rather than quantum system, i.e., that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the current classical approach to neural network simulations. We find that the decoherence time scales ( approximately 10(-13)-10(-20) s)...
