It may not be correct to _totally_ dismiss it, but as someone with professional experience in physics and neuroscience, I feel quite certain in all-but dismissing it. I'm basically sure that the brain is not meaningfully quantum mechanical and that conscious states correspond essentially entirely to physical states and that even if the brain were to have some essential quantum mechanical character, the second conclusion would not change.
The unusual characteristics of quantum mechanics do not give us epistemological carte blanche to believe whatever we like.
