Is Consciousness Connected to the Fine Structure of the Universe?

Here's an interesting interview by Deepak Chopra with Dr. Stuart Hameroff of the Center for Consciousness Studies of the University of Arizona who proposes that consciousness arises at the quantum level with infrastructures inside neurons known as microtubules.

On March 27 I interviewed Dr. Stuart Hameroff of the Center for Consciousness Studies of the University of Arizona. Here is an edited transcript of that interview.

DEEPAK: It's my pleasure today to interview Dr. Stuart Hameroff who is a Professor Emeritus at the Department of Anesthesiology and Psychology and the Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona. Dr. Hameroff is best known for his research on quantum consciousness, an alternative to the accepted view that consciousness emerges from complex computation.

It is a great pleasure to interview you, Dr. Hameroff. Read more
