Is consciousness a quantum phenomenon?
"A silent symphony is playing inside your brain right now as neurological pathways synchronize in an electromagnetic chorus that's thought to give rise to consciousness." Not going to lie, the musical terminology caught my fancy straightaway.
Consciousness - defining it, measuring it, even proving it exists - has continued to stymie researches. It's a "whole is greater than the sum of its parts," je ne sais quo, "I know it when I see (feel) it" phenomenon. And pinning down its nature would revolutionize how we think about nearly everything.
The possibility that quantum mechanisms may be involved has always been rejected because quantum activity is very delicate and fragile, and our brains are hot and messy. But what if biology has figured out how to do something we haven't? It wouldn't be the first time....
