For the in-brain computation, this may be true. However there may be non-local quantum effects emergent from the functioning of this massively parallel biological neural network apparatus, and information could be received and transmitted outside of the five senses. Whether this information or functionality is necessary for basic functioning of the brain, we don't know yet. I'm guessing it is, but I'm also guessing that we can supplant it by little more computation.

And that butterfly just caused a tornado that killed the original poster. Quantum effects, while nonlocal, are small magnitude, not even microtubules are sensitive enough for this at the temperatures brain runs at. It is nigh certain that mind does not depend on this magnitude of effects. There's way too much chaos inside even a single neuron, much less a whole network.
