| Key points | The paper considers whether quantum theory can substantiate certain concepts of consciousness, analyzing selected physical-science directions for their usefulness in explaining psychophysiological problems. It focuses on the synchronicity phenomenon as treated in analytical psychology and on the Eccles-Penfield hypothesis about the nature of consciousness. |
Abstract
Preconditions of a possible substantiation of some concepts of consciousness from positions of the quantum theory are considered. Analysis attempt of some directions of physical science about use of their substantive provisions for explanation of conceptual problems of psychophysiology is made. Special attention is given to research of synchronicity phenomenon considered within the limits of such direction of deep psychology as analytical psychology. Also John Eccles and Wilder Penfield's hypothesis on consciousness nature is studied.
