Are you comfortable as Stan, or shall I call you Cole Jesen or Alex Meteos? Given all the impersonators that we have seen, how can I know that you are actually Steve?
FYI, Stan Woolley is Steve from Skeptiko, and one of the founding members of Psience Quest. He was a big help in getting this site off the ground.

That's very kind of you Doug, but we'd best stick to facts in this situation.
I may have been influential in motivation for the new site, but practically, not so much. I'm all talk but little action!

This drives a hole through your judgement in my opinion. And you owe Steve001 an apology!
Paranoia appears to be the order of the day.
Sci need not apologize me, I'm a big boy. He should to you though and to the forum in general for making a blatantly untrue accusation.

What they are trying to prove is QM plays the role in creating consciousness via the interaction it has with microtubules.
Here's a better description.
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20...085105.htm
With such research this is what they are ultimately attempting to prove.
Quote:“The origin of consciousness reflects our place in the universe, the nature of our existence. Did consciousness evolve from complex computations among brain neurons, as most scientists assert? Or has consciousness, in some sense, been here all along, as spiritual approaches maintain?” ask Hameroff and Penrose in the current review.
“This opens a potential Pandora’s Box, but our theory accommodates both these views, suggesting consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules (protein polymers inside brain neurons), which govern neuronal and synaptic function, and also connect brain processes to self-organizing processes in the fine scale, ‘proto-conscious’ quantum structure of reality.”

Stan Woolley is Steve from Skeptiko, as he wrote in his member introduction here:

Hmmm I thought that too, but it does seem odd to have these "What about comas hmmmm" posts at once in multiple forums?
I figured there were two Steves, but perhaps I'm just wrong?
The idea I owe Steve001 an apology is just laughable.
His long history of worthless, trolling content merely led me to suspect and I figured the mods could check.

Anyway, to easily cut this "skeptical" foray at the legs, dreaming during anesthesia:

Quote:Dreaming during anaesthesia is defined as any recalled experience (excluding awareness) that occurred between induction of anaesthesia and the first moment of consciousness upon emergence. Dreaming is a commonly-reported side-effect of anaesthesia.

Well then, I want an apology from you!

All these posts? Multiple forums?
Spell out exactly what you mean Sci.
