Author George Musser explores the Orch Or Theory, which suggests that consciousness arises from quantum phenomena in the brain. This theory has gained little traction in the past due to a lack of solid experimental evidence and understanding of how quantum effects would give rise to consciousness. However, recent research has suggested that quantum processing does occur in the brain, such as in the case of birds’ internal compasses. This has prompted scientists to consider the possibility of quantum processes contributing to human consciousness. While the exact implications of quantum processes on consciousness are uncertain, it challenges the prevailing materialistic view of the mind.
