Don't ruin the puff piece by asking scientists to actually do science!
They are biologists, though, who do not generally have a good track record on replication.
- gus_massa 4y agoMy guess is that the basic science part is right and they are measuring a real signal. I guess it will be reproduced, even in other animals and in other parts of the body. The part I really disbelieve is the implication that this new measurement method is getting a signal that is related to consciousness or other high level stuff. For example, quoting a quote in the press article: > "Quantum brain processes could explain why we can still outperform supercomputers when it comes to unforeseen circumstances, decision making, or learning something new." Nah.
