In the present article two problems are considered: the possibility to change the future using the clairvoyance and the role of the clairvoyance (including its use to change the future) as a factor of the living species evolution. In addition, because the clairvoyance is a property of the quantum mind, the more general problem of the quantum mind as a factor and a subject of the evolution is...

Kim’s argument for a minimal physicalism breaks down in two critical places. First, his functional reduction of cognitive/intentional properties fails to do justice to what we mean when we refer to belief, desire and the like, because it fails to account for their referential and normative content. And although Kim believes that he is saving what is distinctive about our cognitive/intentional...

In day to life stress became a big problem in our society, especially in sports. Though a top class sportsman is having scientific coaching and proper nutrition, still he is lacking in showing top class performance because of more stress.

Activitas Nervosa Superior September 1, 2010 Stanislav Reiniš
Abstract The human mind and consciousness under normal circumstances likely can be considered, as a unified phenomenon involving the whole brain or at least a major part of it. As suggested by some authors, the problem of consciousness cannot be solved without considering quantum mechanics.
