Thank you for the detailed response. I'm looking forward to digging into the links you posted. > There is a small minority of philosophers and physicists who believe that there are meaningful quantum reactions happening I wonder why this is a minority view. Bear in mind that I am an armchair scientist, but I recall reading that meaningful quantum effects are responsible for the efficiency of photosynthesis. It seems quite plausible (due to the electro-chemical nature of brain functioning) that there might be similar effects present in the brain. Fascinating stuff.
