Comment on Is the Brain a Quantum Computer?parent

Maybe that is only what happened after we observed it. The title alone of this post blew my mind at the possibility even if not possible.

Although the hypothesis that the brain is a quantum computer is biologically and computationally implausible, there might be psychological phenomena not amenable to a neurocomputational explanation that are explicable by appeal to quantum theory. Penrose (1994, 598 A. Litt et al./Cognitive Science 30 (2006) 1997) and Hameroff (1998a, 1998b) argued that mathematical thinking and conscious experience are two such phenomena.
