Consciousness in the universe: a review of the 'Orch OR' theory (2014) (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) 4 points by criticaltinker 5y ago ↗ HN
[–] criticaltinker 5y ago ↗ Highlights:> The Orch OR theory proposes quantum computations in brain microtubules account for consciousness.> Microtubule ‘quantum channels’ in which anesthetics erase consciousness are identified.> Evidence for warm quantum vibrations in brain microtubules is cited.> Interference of microtubule vibrations are ‘beat frequencies’ seen as EEG.> Orch OR links consciousness to processes in fundamental space–time geometry.
