Volume 10 No 2 (2012)

Syamala D. Hari

Abstract

A close look at what is common to and what is different between the computer and the brain at a functional level seems to reveal some areas that need further attention in a scientific, and in a quantum theoretic study of consciousness. A few questions related to phenomenal information, awareness, retrocausality, observation of one’s own ongoing activity, feeling of self and subjectivity, and free will are presented here

Keywords

consciousness, subjectivity, phenomenal information, quantum theory, quantum collapse, computer and brain
