Is Brain-Mind Quantum? A theory and supporting evidence

TL;DR

This paper proposes a quantum-based dualism theory suggesting that mind and matter are interconnected through non-local quantum processes, offering solutions to quantum mechanics puzzles and mind-brain relationship issues.

Contribution

It introduces a novel non-substance dualism framework inspired by Heisenberg, integrating quantum mechanics with the philosophy of mind and providing supporting evidence.

Findings

Addresses five quantum mechanics issues

Suggests non-local aspects of mind

Provides supporting evidence for quantum mind theory

Abstract

We propose a non-substance dualism theory, following Heisenberg: The world consists of both ontologically real possibilities that do not obey Aristotle's Law of the Excluded Middle, and ontologically real Actuals that do o0bey the Law of the Excluded Middle. This quantum approach solves five issues in quantum mechanics and numerous puzzles about the mind-brain relationship. It raises the possibility that some aspects of mind are non-local, and that mind plays an active role in the physical world. We present supporting evidence.
