FWIW, the quantum nature of reality is harnessed by biological processes (see photosynthesis, for example[0]), and our attempts at modeling brains using classical computers have been remarkably inefficient, so far (compare the energy required by the server farm that simulates a mouse brain vs your metabolism). I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that cognition relied on quantum phenomena as well. 0. http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140109/ncomms4012/full/ncomms4012.html http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140109/ncomms4012/full/nco...
