  2. Quantum mind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind

    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 ...

  3. Neural correlates of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_correlates_of...

    Discovering and characterizing neural correlates does not offer a causal theory of consciousness that can explain how particular systems experience anything, the so-called hard problem of consciousness, [6] but understanding the NCC may be a step toward a causal theory. Most neurobiologists propose that the variables giving rise to ...

  4. Orchestrated objective reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestrated_objective...

    David Chalmers argues against quantum consciousness. He instead discusses how quantum mechanics may relate to dualistic consciousness. [61] Chalmers is skeptical that any new physics can resolve the hard problem of consciousness. [62] [63] [64] He argues that quantum theories of consciousness suffer from the same weakness as more conventional ...

  5. Dehaene–Changeux model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehaene–Changeux_model

    Furthermore, building from the Dehaene–Changeux model, Werner (2007b) proposed that the application of the twin concepts of scaling and universality of the theory of non-equilibrium phase transitions can serve as an informative approach for elucidating the nature of underlying neural-mechanisms, with emphasis on the dynamics of recursively ...

  6. Models of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_consciousness

    Sociology of human consciousness uses the theories and methodology of sociology to explain human consciousness. The theory and its models emphasize the importance of language, collective representations, self-conceptions, and self-reflectivity. It argues that the shape and feel of human consciousness is heavily social.

  7. Higher-order theories of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_theories_of...

    Higher-order theory can account for the distinction between unconscious and conscious brain processing. Both types of mental operations involve first-order manipulations, and according to higher-order theory, what makes cognition conscious is a higher-order observation of the first-order processing. [1]

  8. Holonomic brain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holonomic_brain_theory

    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 ]

  9. List of unsolved problems in neuroscience - Wikipedia

    Consciousness: How can consciousness be defined? What is the neural basis of subjective experience, cognition, wakefulness, alertness, arousal, and attention? Binding problem: How exactly is it that objects, background, and abstract or emotional features are combined into a single experience? What is the neural basis of self?
