Does the Weirdness of Quantum Physics Influence the Brain?
Neuroscientists say that there is a mystery at the core of our understanding of consciousness. Physicists say that there is a mystery at the core of our understanding of quantum mechanics. Do these two mysteries have anything to do with each other? UC Berkeley physicist Stan Klein, a founding member of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness, will help us to get a good scientific handle on this thorny, important, and controversial topic. Find out what Dr. Klein has to say about the role of "quantum weirdness" as it relates to the awesome capabilities of the brain, personal awareness, free will, and even parapsychology.
Speaker: Stanley Klein, Professor of Vision Science, UC Berkeley
