Abstract

Abstract The human mind and consciousness under normal circumstances likely can be considered, as a unified phenomenon involving the whole brain or at least a major part of it. As suggested by some authors, the problem of consciousness cannot be solved without considering quantum mechanics. For this reason, I would like to draw on a general knowledge on quantum fields, if and how they function in the brain. What I would like to emphasize is proposal based on free electrons released during the electrophysiological events such as postsynaptic potentials, depolarization and hyperpolarization of the neuronal membrane and action potentials moving along the axons. The quantum systems form a quantum electron field in which the electrons are able to communicate one with another by means of the Pauli principle. This communication may be a carrier of the subjective consciousness which integrates and unifies functions of various parts of the brain. The output of these processes arising from the neuronal activities in various parts of the cerebral cortex and other brain areas likely may produce the content of consciousness.

Highlights

  • In recent years, several papers describing various aspects of quantum human consciousness were published (Penrose, 1994, Stapp, 2007, Reinis, 2008) suggesting that now is possible to develop a reasonable theory based on quantum relations in the brain

  • It seems acceptable that any neuronal membrane activities, pre- and postsynaptic potentials, nerve impulses and their propagation along the nerve fibers are accompanied by a generation of quantum particles, mainly electrons, that are translocated throughout the brain and elsewhere and are responsible for mutual binding of the parts of the brain into a unified functional system, for the creation of human mind and consciousness and for the creation of EEG (Reinis, 2008; Stapp, 2007)

  • An important question in this respect is the subjectivity of consciousness, STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The hard problem of consciousness refers to the fact that the function of the brain considered to be a great information processor eventually may be explored and analyzed to the slightest detail, but we are still unable to explain even the most basic subjective sensations, such as those called qualia, feeling of colors, sounds and shapes
