Consciousness and Quantum Brain Dynamics

  • Gordon Globus
Chapter
Part of the The Frontiers Collection book series (FRONTCOLL)

Summary

The opposition to quantum brain theory is “deconstructed”. The quantum brain theory originated by Umezawa and coworkers is elaborated as a unimode quantum brain dynamics (QBD), a Hermitean dual-mode QBD and a non-Hermitean dual-mode QBD. The non-Hermitean version is applied to mathematics, where the Riemann hypothesis is seen in a fresh way. The philosophical implications of this approach turn out to be “monadological”.
