An international group of contributors focus on the possible connections between quantum mechanics and consciousness. They look at how consciousness can help us with quantum mechanics as well as how quantum mechanics can contribute to our understanding of consciousness. For instance, what do different interpretations aimed at solving the measurement problem in quantum mechanics tell us about the nature of consciousness, such as the von Neumann interpretation? Each interpretation has, associated to it, a corresponding metaphysical framework that helps us think about possible “models” of consciousness. Alternatively, what does the nature of consciousness tell us about the role of the observer and time reversibility in the measurement process? The book features 15 revised papers from ICQM2018, The International Conference on Quanta and Mind. It brings together the work of scholars from different disciplines. Coverage includes such topics as free will in a quantum world, contextuality and causality, the quantum-schmantum brain, and the role of time in brain-mind dynamics.weiterlesen
