Consciousness in the universe: a review of the 'Orch OR' theory (2014) (nih.gov)
4 points by criticaltinker on Aug 12, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments


Highlights:

> The Orch OR theory proposes quantum computations in brain microtubules account for consciousness.

> Microtubule ‘quantum channels’ in which anesthetics erase consciousness are identified.

> Evidence for warm quantum vibrations in brain microtubules is cited.

> Interference of microtubule vibrations are ‘beat frequencies’ seen as EEG.

> Orch OR links consciousness to processes in fundamental space–time geometry.
