	Quantum mind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The quantum mind or quantum consciousness is a protoscientific hypothesis that posits a connection between consciousness, neurobiology and quantum mechanics.
		Quantum theories of mind are among the few classes of theories acceptable in the philosophical stances of pseudonomenalism and mind/brain identity theory.
		There is another type of quantum theory of mind called the many-minds interpretation that is invoked as a conservative version of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory and does not involve collapse of the QM wave function.

		Modulating quantum jumps The first modern pioneer of this field was biologist Alfred Lotka, who in 1924, proposed that the mind controls the brain by modulating the quantum jumps that would otherwise lead to a completely random existance, however the first detailed quantum model of consciousness was by a physicist, Evan Walker.
		Synaptic quantum uncertainty John Carew Eccles speculated in 1986 that synapses in the cortex may respond in a probabilistic manner to neural excitation; a probability that, given the extremely small dimensions of synapses, could be governed by quantum uncertainty.
		Quantum spin-mediated consciousness The spin-mediated consciousness theory, initially proposed by biophysicist Huping Hu with his collaborator Maoxin Wu is a theory that says quantum spin is the seat of consciousness and the linchpin between mind and the brain, that is, spin is the mind-pixel.

		I postulate that a quantum hologram is the source of this intuitive perception and that the percipient is at that time in phase-conjugate-adaptive-resonance (pcar) with the entity or object associated with the quantum hologram.
		In quantum holography the object is to treat the entire group of re-emitted quanta as a whole, and as in laser holography, to examine the information carried in the interference pattern and phase relationships.
		Quantum holographic formalism predicts that the history of events of quantum objects is carried in the quantum hologram, thus we must conclude that the "attention" focused upon the object causes that event to be recorded in that object=s quantum hologram.

	Problem with Quantum Mind Theory
		The basic argument is that temperatures in the brain are too high for atoms, photons, or electrons to remain in a super position of states for longer than 10**-13 (12 zeros after the decimal) seconds.
		Quantum consciousness aficionados suspect that the analogy might be more than a coincidence.
		Quantum physicists, however, largely ignored it as too speculative to be worth testing with numerical calculations.

	Consciousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consciousness is a quality of the mind generally regarded to comprise qualities such as subjectivity, self-awareness, sentience, sapience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between oneself and one's environment.
		Modern investigations into and discoveries about consciousness are based on psychological statistical studies and case studies of consciousness states and the deficits caused by lesions, stroke, injury, or surgery that disrupt the normal functioning of human senses and cognition.
		These discoveries suggest that the mind is a complex structure derived from various localized functions that are bound together with a unitary awareness.

		Details on Penrose's argument are best found in his Shadows of the Mind (1994), and details of the criticisms can be found in Grush and Churchland (1995) [a draft of this paper is available here].
		Quantum mechanics also seems to be very mysterious -- particles going traversing two paths at the same time, for example.
		But because the mechanisms underlying quantum mechanical phenomena are less viaualizable, or comprehensible, or whatever, it seems not to be as clear that something as mysterious as consciousness couldn't work its way into the machine somehow.

	The Quantum Mind of Stuart Hameroff \| TDG - Science, Magick, Myth and History
		The Penrose-Hameroff quantum consciousness hypothesis proposes that quantum computations in microtubules inside the brain's neurons convert pre/subconscious possibilities (manifest as dream-like quantum information) to particular information (choices, perceptions) by a type of quantum state reduction, or collapse of the wave function.
		The mechanism of reduction (conversion from quantum to classical) which produces the solution to a quantum computation is a big question - the so-called collapse of the wave function.
		The quantum state may extend through the gap junctions so that quantum computations in the collection of microtubules within the many dendrites of a single hyper-neuron at a particular time mediate consciousness.

	Quantum Consciousness . Stuart Hameroff
		The boundary or edge (quantum state reduction, or ‘collapse of the wave function”) between the quantum and classical worlds somehow involves consciousness.
		But when I read The emperor’s new mind by Sir Roger Penrose in 1991 I realized that consciousness may be a specific process on the edge between the quantum and classical worlds.

	Edge: WHAT IS TODAY'S MOST IMPORTANT UNREPORTED STORY?
		Quantum computation was proposed in the 1980's by Feynmann, Benioff, Deutsch and others to take advantage of the mysterious but well documented quantum phenomenåa of 1) superposition (particles existing in multiple states or locations simultaneously) and 2) entanglement (instantaneous, non-local communication among quantum states).
		An apparent roadblock to quantum computation —; the problem of decoherence by environmental interactions — was potentially solved in the mid 1990's by groups who developed quantum error correction codes which can detect and repair decoherence before quantum computation is destroyed.
		As quantum computation comes to the forefront of technology, human nature (and ego) will surely resist the notion that technology bears superior intellect, and search for quantum computation in the brain.

		Regarding the set of quantum gates, he stated explicitly that "the physical apparatus should be designed so that H_1 can be turned on from time 0 to time t, then turned off and H_2 turned on from time t to time 2t, etc." [Ibid.].
		"In brief, quantum error correction starts with coding; as in binary error correction codes, in which only a subset of all boolean strings are "legal'' states, quantum error correction codes consist of legal states confined to a subspace of the vector space of a collection of qubits.
		Departure from this subspace is caused by decoherence.

	Quantum-Mind 2
		A relation between consciousness and quantum effects has been pondered for nearly a century, and in the past decades quantum processes in the brain have been invoked as explanations for consciousness and its enigmatic features.
		However quantum computation would surely be advantageous from an evolutionary perspective, and biology has had 4 billion years to solve the decoherence problem and evolve quantum mechanisms.
		Moreover macroscopic quantum processes are being proposed as intrinsic features in cosmology, evolution and social interactions. Following the first "Quantum Mind" conference held in Flagstaff at Northern Arizona University in 1999, "Quantum Mind II" will update current status and future directions, and provide dialog with skeptical criticism of the emerging paradigm.

	National Institute for Discovery Science: Natures Mind: the Quantum Hologram by Edgar Mitchell, Ph.D.
		It has required, however, that quantum science mature for seventy-five years and during that period, test, validate and synthesize a number of seemingly outrageous physical concepts arising from quantum theory, before testable theories could arise which offer hope that anomalous mind and consciousness data can be explained (Mitchell, 1996).
		The missing concepts that prevented the earliest investigators of consciousness from succeeding in their quest were 1) a generalized theory of information, and 2) quantum science itself, with the associated phenomena of non-locality, the zero point energy field and the quantum hologram.
		Even though teleportation of quantum states has been successfully accomplished for particles, and numerous studies (Radin, 1997; Dunne and Dunne, 1988) show that macro-scale objects can also be changed or moved, the energy transfer mechanism by which the classical states of a remote object are affected remains illusive.

	MIND is
		Enigmatic terra incognita, the Mind, historically an exclusive subject matter within philosophy and psychology, becomes a new frontier for this new Millennium, as it begins to attract increasingly more attention from cognitive scientists, theoretical physicists, internet/computer (AI) systems developers, advertisers, artists and art critics, spiritual/religious teachers and the general public.
		Computer science, artificial intelligence, expert systems, linguistics, quantum mechanics, art and literary criticism, hermeneutics, cognitive psychology, medicine, psychiatry, psychotherapy, neuroscience, meditation, are only some of the a few most known areas where study of the Mind is currently under way.
		Fundamentally beyond existence and nonexistence, birth and death, the Mind, even if it manifests itself in (as) all phenomena, can not be grasped by the senses or the intellect.

	Matter, Mind, and Quantum
		Bohm's 1952 pilot-wave/beable quantum theory only needs the 3-n positional subspace because the momenta of the beables are determined by the gradient of the phase of the pilot-wave that guides their motion.
		Quantum pointers like the single electrons that control the conformation of each tubulin dimer are "Eccles gates" where quantum mind directly couples to its attached classical brain-beable substrate, using Bohm's picture.
		In the case of a brain that is interpreted as a "self-measuring" device the analogs of the "branches defined by different intervals in the coordinate of the center of the pointer" are the "branches defined by different regions in configuration space into which the brain might evolve".
