Quantum Brain Dynamics and Virtual Reality.

A control theory for manipulating holograms in Quantum Brain Dynamics (QBD) is proposed, linking to subjective experiences (qualia). The theory extends QBD to a hierarchical model covering the neocortex and uses reservoir computing or morphological computation to manipulate hologram waveforms. Numerical simulations show convergence to target waveforms via external electric fields in a QBD hierarchy. The approach could be applied to non-invasive neuronal stimulation and to test whether the brain uses holographic language. If confirmed, the theory might enable virtual reality devices that non-invasively manipulate qualia from the five senses, potentially transmitting information directly into the brain without sensory organs.

Abstract

In this paper we propose a control theory of manipulating holograms in Quantum Brain Dynamics (QBD) involving our subjective experiences, i.e. qualia. We begin with the Lagrangian density in QBD and extend our theory to a hierarchical model involving multiple layers covering the neocortex. We adopt reservoir computing approach or morphological computation to manipulate waveforms of holograms involving our subjective experiences. Numerical simulations performed indicate that the convergence to target waveforms of holograms is realized by external electric fields in QBD in a hierarchy. Our theory can be applied to non-invasive neuronal stimulation of the neocortex and adopted to check whether or not our brain adopts the language of holography. In case the protocol in a brain is discovered and the brain adopts the language of holography, our control theory will be applied to develop virtual reality devices by which our subjective experiences provided by the five senses in the form of qualia are manipulated non-invasively. Then, the information content of qualia might be directly transmitted into our brain without passing through sensory organs.
