- Brain experiment suggests that consciousness relies on quantum entanglement ()
Most neuroscientists believe that the brain operates in a classical manner. However, if brain processes rely on quantum mechanics, it could explain why our brains are so powerful. A team of researchers possibly witnessed entanglement in the brain, perhaps indicating that some of our brain activity, and maybe even consciousness, operates on a quantum level. […]
- A New Explanation for Consciousness ()
Summary: A new theory of consciousness suggests decisions are made unconsciously, then about half a second later, they become conscious. Source: Boston University Consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you. This awareness is subjective and unique to you. A Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine researcher has developed a […]
- A New Theory in Physics Claims to Solve the Mystery of Consciousness ()
Summary: Consciousness can not simply be reduced to neural activity alone, researchers say. A novel study reports the dynamics of consciousness may be understood by a newly developed conceptual and mathematical framework. Source: Bar-Ilan University How do 1.4 kg of brain tissue create thoughts, feelings, mental images, and an inner world? The ability of the […]
- Can quantum effects in the brain explain consciousness? ()
New research reveals hints of quantum states in tiny proteins called microtubules inside brain cells. If the results stand up, the idea that consciousness is quantum might come in from the cold IF IT is a controversial idea that warm, wet life might exploit quantum magic, that’s nothing compared with certain researchers’ convictions that quantum […]
- We will need advanced consciousness technologies and knowledge about that in the future for cryonics patients ()
We will need advanced consciousness technologies and knowledge about that in the future for cryonics patients. Better than today. To put consciousness on a boost, very rapid and in order.
- The Science and Philosophy of Consciousness ()
Consciousness is one of the unsolved mysteries that great thinkers across many disciplines have attempted to elucidate. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines consciousness simply as “the quality or state of being aware.” Yet the true definition of consciousness has eluded great minds for centuries. Several attempts at defining consciousness have been made by philosophers, physicians, psychologists, […]
- WE ARE NOW INFORMED: CONSCIOUSNESS DOES NOT REALLY EXIST ()
Rubbish. Giving up consciousness as an illusion would be like turning off the master switch. What would the ensuing darkness and powerlessness tell us? What you think is enabling you to listen with any attention to neuroscientists (your dog, coffee cup, and your toothpaste are not listening to neuroscientists) is something — some of them […]
