- akomtu 4y agoNeurons apparently contain microscopic tubes that make use of some quantum effects: https://phys.org/news/2014-01-discovery-quantum-vibrations-microtubules-corroborates.html https://phys.org/news/2014-01-discovery-quantum-vibrations-m...
- famouswaffles 4y agoThe user was implying neurons could be in multiple states at the same time because...quantum mechanics. Wrong conclusion even from this link.
- hooloovoo_zoo 4y agoSince we're providing citations :) https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2399-6528/ac94be https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2399-6528/ac94be
- famouswaffles 4y agoThat doesn't mean that neurons could be in multiple states at the same time which is what you were implying. That particular assertion is still horribly wrong.
- hooloovoo_zoo 4y ago'...the assumed brain function producing entanglement, must use a kind of quantum distillation process on mixed states.'
- famouswaffles 4y agoagain, that doesn't mean neurons can exist in multiple states. There is also no also indication higher level computational functions in the brain responsible for reasoning or whatever have you require any quantum computations.
