In this episode of the Eye on AI podcast, we dive into the world of quantum consciousness with Stuart Hameroff, a pioneer in the field of consciousness studies and co-developer of the controversial Orch OR theory.
Stuart Hameroff takes us on a journey through the intersection of quantum mechanics and the human mind, explaining how microtubules within neurons could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of consciousness.
Stuart delves into his work with physicist Roger Penrose, where they propose that consciousness arises from quantum processes in the brain, deeply embedded in the fabric of spacetime itself. We explore how this theory challenges mainstream neuroscience, which often reduces the mind to simple neural activity, and instead suggests that consciousness may have a profound connection to the universe's underlying structure.
Throughout the conversation, Stuart addresses the debate over AI consciousness, asserting that true conscious experience cannot arise from mere computation but requires quantum processes. He shares insights on the latest experiments in anesthesia and quantum biology, offering a fresh perspective on how the brain might function on a deeper, quantum level.
Join us as we unpack the groundbreaking Orch OR theory and what it could mean for the future of science, technology, and our understanding of reality.
