Abstract
According to our hypothesis presented here, the human mind is a process depending on interactions of masses of mainly cortical neurons connected by biochemical, electrical and quantum factors into a massive system. The consciousness is dependent on the additional communication between particles, in particular between electrons. The Pauli repulsive exchange mechanism and other communication mechanisms may be able to transform physical events into a subjective information.
