Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics

This book is the first volume to provide a comprehensive review and thorough analysis of conjectures about the connection between consciousness and quantum mechanics.

It contains seventeen newly written chapters divided into three sections: Consciousness and the Wave Function Collapse, Consciousness in Quantum Theories, and Quantum Approaches to Consciousness.

Written by leading experts in physics, philosophy, and cognitive science, the book explores how an analysis of the conscious mind and psychophysical connection is indispensable for understanding quantum mechanics and addressing the measurement problem.

It also discusses the potential relevance of quantum mechanics to understanding consciousness and the mind-body problem from a naturalist perspective.

The book is accessible to graduate students and valuable for researchers in the foundations of quantum mechanics and philosophy of mind.
