Expanding on Consciousness

Episode 37: Conscious awareness is the most fundamental level of the universe with Dr. Stuart Hameroff

Jul 20, 2023
Dr. Stuart Hameroff proposes that consciousness originates in quantum states interacting with neural microtubules. He challenges the notion of the brain as a computer and suggests diving deeper into neuron complexity for understanding. Conscious awareness is seen at the fundamental level of the universe, akin to musicians warming up, indicating the proto conscious moments. The discussion spans mystical philosophy, quantum interactions in microtubules, and altered states of consciousness inducing neuronal noise and protein frequency shifts.
