  2. 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 ]

  3. Karl H. Pribram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_H._Pribram

    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 ...

  4. David Bohm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bohm

    In collaboration with Stanford University neuroscientist Karl H. Pribram, Bohm was involved in the early development of the holonomic model of the functioning of the brain, a model for human cognition that is drastically different from conventionally-accepted ideas.

  5. 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 ...

  6. List of Austrian scientists - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Austrian_scientists

    Karl Pribram, physician, neuroscientist, originator of Holonomic brain theory; Carl Rabl, anatomist; Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), psychiatrist; Erwin Ringel (1921-1994), Austrian psychiatrist (presuicidal syndrome) Hans Selye, physician (emigrated to Canada) Ignaz Semmelweis, physician (born in Hungary, Austria-Hungary)

  7. Consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness

    Notable theories falling into this category include the holonomic brain theory of Karl Pribram and David Bohm, and the Orch-OR theory formulated by Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose. Some of these QM theories offer descriptions of phenomenal consciousness, as well as QM interpretations of access consciousness.

  8. Neurophenomenology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurophenomenology

    Neurophenomenology refers to a scientific research program aimed to address the hard problem of consciousness in a pragmatic way. [1] It combines neuroscience with phenomenology in order to study experience, mind, and consciousness with an emphasis on the embodied condition of the human mind. [2]

  9. The Astonishing Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Astonishing_Hypothesis

    Neurologist and Nobel Laureate Gerald Edelman believes that neural Darwinism is a more satisfactory explanation for the emergence of complex intelligence in humans. Another school of thought, this one largely made up of those outside of scientific disciplines, consider consciousness to either be simply beyond the possibility of explanation or ...
