Quantum Breakthrough: Proof of Wavefunction Collapse on Superconducting Quantum Computer Supports Penrose-Hameroff Consciousness Theory Quantum Breakthrough: Proof of Wavefunction Collapse on ...

Quantum mechanics suggests that particles can be in a state of superposition - in two states at the same time - until a measurement take place. Only then does the wavefunction describing the particle ...

When I began my master’s program in cognitive science, an electrical engineering professor told us—rather arrogantly—that the soul is nothing but neurons firing. “You’re deluded if you think otherwise ...

When people talk about consciousness, or the mind, it’s always a bit nebulous. Whether we create consciousness in our brains as a function of our neurons firing, or consciousness exists independently ...
