My understanding of the hypothesis being represented here is QM as a kind of random number generator operating at the neuron/microtubule level. I didn't think there was anything other than a modest injection of randomness being invoked, but I could be misstating the premise.
- crowbahr 4y agoIt's an absurd premise to begin with: The scale at which quantum effects propagate and are observed is radically different than the scale at which the neurons in your brain operate. The functional channels for neurons are well understood, even if we're still diagramming out all the types of neurons. Voltage gated calcium channels are pretty damn simple in the grand scheme of things, and they don't leave space for quantum interactions beyond that of standard molecular interactions. The only part of the brain we don't understand is how all the intricacies work together, because that's a lot more opaque.
