The sensible response is: "show me ". Quantum effects are not known to be significant. I believe that our mind is an emergent property: lots of neurons and chemicals interacting. Sure, there are a lot of variables, we need the dynamical systems perspective to even begin to understand the whole process... but a new kind of physics? Don't be so anthropic! AFAICT cognition happens at the multicellular level--huge, from a QM perspective.
This reminds me of that old anti-strong-AI bugaboo, "intelligence in the gaps": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_the_gaps
