Is our Consciousness a Quantum System?

Quote:Some scientists think that the brain itself might be an organic quantum machine. This is the view of Matthew Fisher, a theoretical physicist at UC Santa Barbara.
After years of research into “quantum neuroscience”, Fisher is heading the newly launched Quantum Brain Project (QuBrain). This is an international research initiative which is setting out to ask one question, in Fisher’s own words:
“Might we, ourselves, be quantum computers, rather than just clever robots who are designing and building quantum computers?”
Until the QuBrain project runs its tests and reveals its results, there could be an interesting angle to discuss.
