After studying the work of Eccles and that of Leith, [17] Pribram put forward the hypothesis that memory might take the form of interference patterns that resemble laser-produced holograms. [19] In 1980, physicist David Bohm presented his ideas of holomovement and Implicate and explicate order. [20]
Drawing on the work of Pribram, Bohm concludes that the implicate order may render a distinction between matter and consciousness impossible. [ 19 ] Bohm contrasts this perspective to the view of classical mechanics, which focuses on the behavior of individual entities like particles and fields, instead taking a view of reality centered on ...
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 ...
Pribram's holonomic model of brain processing is described in his 1991 Brain and Perception, which contains the extension of his work with David Bohm. [1] It states that, in addition to the circuitry accomplished by the large fiber tracts in the brain, processing also occurs in webs of fine fiber branches (for instance, dendrites) that form webs, as well as in the dynamic electrical fields ...
A number of researchers, most notably Karl Pribram and David Bohm, have proposed holographic models of consciousness [13] as a way to explain number of problems of consciousness using the properties of hologram. A number of these theories overlap to some extent with quantum theories of mind.
David Joseph Bohm FRS [1] (/ b oʊ m /; 20 December 1917 – 27 October 1992) was an American scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century [2] and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.
Bohm also used the term unfoldment to characterise processes in which the explicate order becomes relevant (or "relevated"). Bohm likens unfoldment also to the decoding of a television signal to produce a sensible image on a screen. The signal, screen, and television electronics in this analogy represent the implicate order, while the image ...
The field theories of consciousness do not appear to have been as widely discussed as other quantum consciousness theories, such as those of Penrose, Stapp or Bohm. [18] However, David Chalmers [19] argues against quantum consciousness. He instead discusses how quantum mechanics may relate to dualistic consciousness. [20]
