Quantum Minds: Orchestrating Consciousness in the Brain

from Intellectually Curious Hosted by Mike Breault

We explore the controversial Orch-OR idea that consciousness arises from orchestrated quantum processes inside brain microtubules. From the warm, noisy brain to xenon anesthesia and zero-point field theories, we weigh the evidence, the skeptics’ objections, and the cutting-edge Google quantum neuroscience push, and ask what this could mean for medicine, creativity, and our sense of self.
