opting from alternativespanpsychismquantum mechanicsSartre and spontaneitysubjectivityWe present a model of a fundamental property of consciousness as the capacity of a system to opt among presented alternatives. Any system possessing this capacity is "conscious" in some degree, whether or not it has ...
In the physical world, scientists have long understood the core of matter to be the nucleus of an atom, made up of protons and neutrons. However, delving deeper into the quantum realm reveals a fascinating truth: the nucleus is not solid but composed primarily of empty space and fundamental ...
and self-control; roles for consciousness in decision making; the nature and power of conscious deciding; connections among free will, consciousness, and quantum mechanics; why free will and consciousness might have evolved; how consciousness develops in individuals; the experience of free will; effec...
Are the measurement problem of QM and the binding problem of neuroscience two sides of the same coin? A solution to the measurement problem of QM? ("How serious is the measurement problem concerning the validity of the various interpretations in quantum mechanics?") [on non-materialist physica...
I was delighted to see Luca Turin’s work on anesthesia shown at Harmut Neven’s fascinating presentation about quantum mechanics and brain organoids. They will be trying out xenon isotopes soon, in the hopes of detecting the influence of quantum states of the anesthetic at the macroscopic ...

gathering, Chalmers presented the “hard problem of consciousness” (Sect.11.1). Twenty years later, ideas related to panpsychism were discussed. Attempts at incorporating such a view into science—as panpsychist realism—were presented, especially related to relativity and quantum mechanics (Graubart...
Zurek's "quantum Darwinism", widely discussed by physicists working on the foundations of quantum mechanics, hasn’t yet to my knowledge been studied closely in the CNS. Zurek himself is no fan of quantum mind. Zurek and other decoherence theorists would presumably say that the same selection ...
The following areas are covered: quantum mechanics and the role of consciousness, neurophysiology and states of consciousness, the manifestation of the psyche in consciousness, the odyssey of consciousness, and science and consciousness. The discussions which follow give a multi-disciplinary perspective ...
Spin is likely the primordial self-referential process driving quantum mechanics, spacetime dynamics and [immanent] consciousness, Huping Hu, Ph.D., J.D. All things by immortal power, Near and Far, Hiddenly To each other linked are, That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling of ...
