Abstract

Recent works [1], [2], [3], [4] have raised the possibility that a quantum formalism can describe both unconscious mechanical brain processes connected with the complex patterns of neuronal activity as well as the conscious activity of the brain. A Hilbert structure has been assumed in order to describe an evolution equation like the Schroedinger equation.
