Quantum theory illuminates the mystery of consciousness from "summary" of Quantum brain by Amit Goswami

The mystery of consciousness has long fascinated humanity. How do we experience thoughts, emotions, and sensations? How does the brain create our subjective experience of the world? Traditional neuroscience has struggled to explain these phenomena, often resorting to reductionist explanations that fail to capture the full richness of human consciousness. Enter quantum theory. At first glance, quantum physics may seem worlds apart from the realm of consciousness. Quantum theory deals with the strange and counterintuitive behavior of subatomic particles, while consciousness appears to be a purely mental phenomenon. However, as we delve deeper into the mysteries of both quantum physics and consciousness, we begin to see intriguing parallels between the two. One key insight of quantum theory is the concept of superposition. According to quantum physics, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until they are observed. This idea challenges our classical understanding of reality, where objects are assumed to have definite properties at all times. Similarly, consciousness is characterized by a sense of openness and possibility, where thoughts and emotions can coexist and evolve dyn...
