Quantum Coherence and Conscious Experience

From Viral Pandemics, Mae-wan Ho

How to understand the organic whole The organism as a vibrant sentient whole Quantum coherence and body consciousness Quantum Coherence and the Binding Problem Coherent information storage and qualia of perception Quantum coherence and the macroscopic wave function of the conscious being Acknowledgments I propose that quantum coherence is the basis of living organization and can also account for key features of conscious experience-- the "unity of intentionality", our inner identity of the singular "I", the simultaneous binding and segmentation of features in the perceptive act, the distributed, holographic nature of memory, and the distinctive quality of each experienced occasion.

Arguments and Model for Quantum Consciousness, Modification of Quantum Collapse, and Panpsychism

Janko Kokošar

As first, a mechanism how quantum coherence in the brain can last long enough is shown. This mechanism is based on very light elementary particles. Then the arguments follow as why consciousness should be a quantum phenomenon and how such an introduction of quantum consciousness modifies the formalism of quantum mechanics. This can also be tested by an experiment. Without use of quantum mechanics it is shown how to atomize consciousness and how to explain the Libet experiment, and why a location of feeling of consciousness is an important paradox. It is also shown that panpsychism is an answer to many questions about consciousness. The author claims that consciousness is physically so fundamental that it is not a result of some complex phenomena, but it is so fundamental as quantum physics and space-time.

Quantum leaps in philosophy of mind

David Bourget

I discuss the quantum mechanical theory of consciousness and freewill offered by Stapp (1993, 1995, 2000, 2004). First I show that decoherence-based arguments do not work against this theory. Then discuss a number of problems with the theory: Stapp's separate accounts of consciousness and freewill are incompatible, the interpretations of QM they are tied to are questionable, the Zeno effect could not enable freewill as he suggests because weakness of will would then be ubiquitous, and the holism of measurement in QM is not a good explanation of the unity of consciousness for essentially the same reason that local interactions may seem incapable of accounting for it.
