The quantum mind or quantum consciousness is a group of hypotheses proposing that local physical laws and interactions from classical mechanics or connections between neurons alone cannot explain consciousness, [1] positing instead that quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition that cause nonlocalized quantum effects, interacting in smaller features of the brain than ...
Electromagnetic field theories (or "EM field theories") of consciousness propose that consciousness results when a brain produces an electromagnetic field with specific characteristics. Susan Pockett [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and Johnjoe McFadden [ 3 ] have proposed EM field theories; William Uttal [ 4 ] has criticized McFadden's and other field theories.
Quantum cognition uses the mathematical formalism of quantum probability theory to model psychology phenomena when classical probability theory fails. [1] The field focuses on modeling phenomena in cognitive science that have resisted traditional techniques or where traditional models seem to have reached a barrier (e.g., human memory), [2] and modeling preferences in decision theory that seem ...
The notion that quantum physics must be the underlying mechanism for consciousness first emerged in the 1990s, when Nobel Prize-winning physicist Roger Penrose, Ph.D., and anesthesiologist Stuart ...
Scientists suggest quantum entanglement in myelin sheaths generates consciousness, offering a groundbreaking new perspective on brain function and cognition.
Holonomic brain theory is a branch of neuroscience investigating the idea that consciousness is formed by quantum effects in or between brain cells. Holonomic refers to representations in a Hilbert phase space defined by both spectral and space-time coordinates. [ 1 ]
Electromagnetic theories of consciousness propose that consciousness can be understood as an electromagnetic phenomenon that occurs when a brain produces an electromagnetic field with specific characteristics. [7] [8] Some electromagnetic theories are also quantum mind theories of consciousness. [9]
Syntergic theory, proposed by Jacobo Grinberg-Zylberbaum, postulates that the brain gives rise to a neuronal field which is the source of consciousness. The neuronal field is conceived as interacting directly with an interconnected, information-dense fabric of reality termed "pre-space," which Grinberg-Zylberbaum describes as "a holographic ...
