Microtubules: The Gateway To Consciousness | Stuart Hameroff

Microtubules: The Gateway To Consciousness | Stuart Hameroff

Episode 173 Published 2 years ago
Description
Stuart Hameroff argues that consciousness arises at the interface of classical and quantum physics, with neuronal microtubules serving as quantum processing sites that could connect to the fabric of space‑time. He discusses how this view offers a profound quantum basis for consciousness and its implications for the future of mind science.
