The measurement problem in quantum mechanics looks at how an experimental outcome changes, simply by observing it.

New research suggests that the most ancient evolutionary parts of the brain could be contributing to consciousness.

The aim of Coppola’s study is to test that assertion. The neuroscientist’s research breaks the human brain down to three ...

It suggests your subjective experience might come from both your physical brain and the mysterious quantum activity within it.

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something ...

Over the years, many learned colleagues in the field of neuroscience have approached me and asked, “Why do people say that consciousness is a mystery? I just don’t see what the mystery is.” Oftentimes ...

Philosopher Daniel Dennett died a few days ago, on April 19. When he argued that we overrate consciousness, he demonstrated, paradoxically, how conscious he was, and he made his audience more ...

The controversial idea that quantum effects in the brain can explain consciousness has passed a key test. Experiments show that anaesthetic drugs reduce how long tiny structures found in brain cells ...

A new study provides early evidence of a surge of activity correlated with consciousness in the dying brain. Reports of near-death experiences -- with tales of white light, visits from departed loved ...
