Anirban Bandyopadhyay - Quantum Physics of Consciousness

Very exciting work by this scientist. I agree with him that it is a bad idea to focus only on the membrane in trying to understand how the brain works or in trying to mimic it. Proponents of this are treating the nerve cell as if it were a black box whose inner-workings are fixed and, therefore, whose outputs can be predicted with 100% certainty given certain inputs. But the neuron is not a C++ object, and I believe it is extremely likely that the same input can lead to different outputs depending on what happens inside the neuron. Also, anyone betting against Sir Penrose had better be getting really good odds.

This is a mind-blowing interview. What a unique take on neuroscience.

I like how both Roger Penrose and Anirban Bandyopadhyay use music as a metaphor for what goes on at the quantum level in the brain. Symphony, harmony, singing, rhythm.

Lucky to have worked with Dr. Bandyopadhyay on a small project. I learned so much from him.

Awareness is known by awareness alone.

This man is stupendous. His eyes light up when he explains so passionately ❤❤❤👏👏👏👏

love Anirban's work! hope he gets some recognition for his artificial brain

Anirban's work seems interesting, but he admits microtubules' role in consciousness is long way down the track. How microtubules achieve coherence in its function as QC function, is the key to unlocking the mysteries of consciousness. His knowledge of everything vibrating like strings in the entire universe is enlightening.

“Orch-OR theory is taking the whole world of neuroscience 100 years ahead of its current system” 👍

That enthusiasm is priceless
