  2. Neural basis of self - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_basis_of_self

    The neural basis of self is the idea of using modern concepts of neuroscience to describe and understand the biological processes that underlie humans' perception of self-understanding. The neural basis of self is closely related to the psychology of self with a deeper foundation in neurobiology .

  3. 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 ...

  4. The Astonishing Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Astonishing_Hypothesis

    Rather than attempting to cover all the aspects of consciousness (self-awareness, thought, imagination, perception, etc.), Crick focuses on the primate visual system and breaks down the prerequisites for conscious experience into several broad subconditions, including some sort of short-term memory and attention mechanism. The book then delves ...

    Many theories attempt to explain consciousness, but one that’s gaining traction is the idea of electromagnetic (EM) fields—specifically, ephaptic fields—coordinating consciousness in the brain.

  6. Quantum Physics Could Finally Explain Consciousness ... - AOL

    Orch OR theory considers quantum collapse to be related to gravity and argues this collapse actually gives rise to consciousness. According to some approaches to Orch OR theory, the superposition ...

  7. Consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness

    The theory suggests that the brain in primary states such as rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, early psychosis and under the influence of psychedelic drugs, is in a disordered state; normal waking consciousness constrains some of this freedom and makes possible metacognitive functions such as internal self-administered reality testing and self ...

  8. 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 ...

    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?
