In the years following his hugely successful book The Emperor's New Mind , in which he argued that there is a quantum aspect to human consciousness, Roger Penrose has acquired a reputation among his peers for writing beautiful books that advocate controversial ideas.

1.1 The present essay explores three issues raised by Penrose in Shadows of the Mind (abbreviated Shadows from here on): (1) is classical (non-quantum) science incapable of understanding brain operation?; (2) are long-range quantum effects able to produce measurable changes in neural activity?; (3) why have so many researchers proposed a strong connection
