Neural Correlate of Consciousness in a Single Electron: Radical Answer to “Quantum Theories of Consciousness”

Volume 10 No 2 (2012)

Victor Yu. Argonov

Abstract

In recent years, so-called “quantum theories of consciousness” become popular. Most of them suggest that human phenomenal consciousness (and “self”) may be associated with macroscopic collective quantum phenomenon such as Bose-Einstein condensate. Macroscopic quantum system behaves, in some sense, like a single huge super-particle, and this seem to solve the problem of the unity of consciousness. These ideas are, however, not in a good agreement with contemporary physics

Keywords

unity of consciousness, binding problem, single cell consciousness, single particle consciousness, pontifical cell, pontifical particle, quantum consciousness
