No need to invoke quantum physics woo here to make the same point. One synapse in from the peripheral senses, the information is all just neurons spiking. That’s a compressed, lossy, and time delayed model of the real world before information has even hit the brain.
- photochemsyn 4y agoNeurons spiking is a lot of quantum woo, as you put it. Collapse of an electric charge gradient across a membrane, neurotransmitters being released and binding to receptors, etc., all involve various QM processes. I was however thinking more about photon scattering, reflection, and emission from so-called material objects, well before those photons hit the rods and cones in the eye.
