Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe work examines a theoretical approach from quantum gravity that proposes unknown systems can create entanglement between two known quantum systems only if the mediator itself is non-classical. It suggests this framework might be applied to the brain, noting a long history of speculation about quantum processes underlying consciousness and cognition.

Abstract
Recent proposals in quantum gravity have suggested that unknown systems can mediate entanglement between two known quantum systems, if and only if the mediator itself is non-classical. This approach may be applicable to the brain, where speculations about quantum operations in consciousness and cognition have a long history.
