The possibility of wave function collapse in the human brain has been debated since early quantum theory. Some scientists initially argued that collapse occurs in the brain or is caused by the observer's mind. Penrose and Hameroff proposed that quantum information processing in microtubules underlies consciousness via collective wave function collapse, while Tegmark argued thermal decoherence prevents any quantum processing in neurons. Rosa and Faber suggested a middle ground: despite decoherence, the brain could still be a quantum system. Thaheld concluded that quantum states of photons collapse in the eye, not the brain. This paper argues that together these views can describe different parts of a teleportation mechanism.
