Quantum Consciousness - 2007/07/06 13:22 One of the scientific paradigms applied to account for consciousness is quantum mechanics. One of the most remarkable works in this area is (Hameroff and Penrose, 1996) [1]. Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose propose that consciousness is produced due to quantum coherence in microtubules. The Orchestrated Reduction (OR) model [2] argues that quantum effects in neuron’s cytoskeletal microtubules form coherent states in macroscopic volumes of the brain.

More information about this theory can be found at Hameroff’s page:
