We may suspect that quantum mechanics and consciousness are related, but the details are not at all clear. In this paper, I suggest how the mind and brain might fit together intimately while still maintaining distinct identities. The connection is based on the correspondence of similar functions in both the mind and the quantum-mechanical brain.

held at the Institute of Psychiatry, Denmark Hill, London on 20th October, 1990.

=======================
The Mind-Brain Problem
The problem of the relation between mind and body is well known as a difficult `world knot'. Over the centuries various monistic and dualistic theories have been proposed, and the subject has had renewed interest as we try to assimilate the implications of quantum physics. These implications may make us reexamine our views of brains and bodies, but it is still not clear what consequences they have for our understanding of minds.

  • @batmessiah The fact that quantum experiments have been performed, and have influenced much scientific thought and understanding, is direct evidence that phenomena at the quantum level, influences the macroscopic scale. And there is two long term/large sample studies, which I can think of, supporting REG effect (by Dean Radin and the PEAR lab), and at least several (independent) others.

  • What the guy says at 4:30, is it true ? The latent energy in the void between the electron field and the nucleus is the power of big bang ? Every atom contains the latent energy of the big bang. That's like saying that God is in Everything. Is this science ?

  • we can change usa lets goo

  • @baseballfan1234534 just ahead of its time. but old news to some cultures

  • pixies enter the third eye demanding entertainment phycis is great exept for the numbers that just dont add up when everything points in the right direction goin up 1st lvl tea and biscuits goin down to 5th lvl particle abuse 101

  • this is what is called crackpot science

  • @batmessiah I certainly also find that there is little to no scientific verification behind any of these extraordinary claims. I think that quantum mechanics is such a grotesque field that any bizarre notion (especially one with such deep implications toward human beings) won't be difficult to pass off as truth. There is an unavoidable weakness in many people which is a mix between their own desires and the flood of new ideas that videos like this bring about, It's self-deception.

  • @zadeh79 I watched "What the bleep do we know" and again, a movie full of pseudo science and very little actual scientific fact. I've read up on this stuff quite a bit, and no, it has no influence at the microscopic level, it is at the quantum level. And the only scientific article I could find relating to random number generators being influenced by thought was proven to be very biased, opposed to all the papers that said it has no influence at all.

  • @batmessiah It is a straightforward experiment, and it has been demonstrated consistently, and supported through alternate studies. There is a lot of evidence of this sort, in 'scientific journals', and almost nothing directly contradicts it. Actually quantum physics is based on early experiments that found that a conscious observer, has a clear influence on the outcome of physical events at the microscopic level. Watch 'what the bleep do we know' video on youtube.
