Research in Orchestrated Objective reduction, better known as Orch OR, is research that examines protein polymers in the microtubules of the brain. Tandem studies in Japan as well as the US states that consciousness actually exists in the neuro microtubules of the brain in the form of quantum vibrations therein. The brain was once thought […]
How the Hidden Mathematics of Living Cells Could Help Us Decipher the Brain – Singularity Hub
The brain has been compared to computers by lots of experts, but how similar are they? Can Boolean Logic – how computers think in 0’s and 1’s – be compared to how human logic works? Much recent research has gone into proving or disproving this theory. If you want to know more about this research […]

Extended Awareness: The Possibilities of Quantum Consciousness – Huffington Post (blog)
Various key brain structures and the way information is channeled along neural pathways leads us to hypothesize that the brain possesses a neurological mechanism for self-transcendence. As we progress in self-transcendence, the sense of separation or involvement with the personal mind expands into an awareness of the unique emanation that each of us is an […]
Tom Campbell: MBT LA 2016 1 of 7 The Implications of Virtual Reality
Exploring the Implications of Virtual Reality: A Deep Dive with Tom Campbell In the first part of his 2016 Los Angeles series, Tom Campbell delves into the profound implications of virtual reality on our understanding of existence. Campbell, a physicist and consciousness researcher, is renowned for his My Big TOE (Theory of Everything), which posits […]
‘Westworld’ Premise Refuted: Why the Robots Can’t Be Conscious – TheWrap
The popular HBO show Westworld has raised questions about the issues of Artificial Intelligence developing consciousness. John Searle, a leading expert in this field however, explains why this is not a possibility. He explains why you need biological factors to form intelligence that sort of consciousness. It is not possible in this or the near […]
Why can’t the world’s greatest minds solve the mystery of consciousness? – The Guardian
Solve the Mystery of Consciousness? Mind over matter, or is it the matter in our minds? That strange pinkish gel/goo stuff in our heads- our human control center is apparently composed of some sort of magical compound wherein the answer of life/awareness can be found. Perhaps it is just our imaginations, or maybe we should […]
Higher-Order Theories of Consciousness
It is one thing to say to an individual person or organism that it is conscious, and it is quite another thing to say of one of the mental states of a creature that it is conscious. In contrast, there is considerable dispute as to whether mental states can be phenomenally conscious without also being […]
Charles Tart – How Much More to Physical Reality?
What is the farthest extent of the physical world, not only cosmologically across the universe but also conceptually across laws of nature? Can there be radical new discoveries in the 21st century as relativity and quantum mechanics were in the 20th century? Some speculate that a true understanding of consciousness will require laws as yet […]
Could Quantum Brain Effects Explain Consciousness? – LiveScience.com
It is tempting to try to explain mind through quantum mechanisms – very tiny effects in the molecules of the brain – because matter and energy, below a certain size, seem to have some similar characteristics. Quantum particles/waves have an infinite number of possibilities at the same time, an ability to instantly influence something else […]
