Physics and Consciousness
arXiv Preprint Archive October 17, 1995 via arXiv
Summary
AI-generated from the abstractConsciousness and quantum physics share several properties, such as non-locality and the role of the observer. Associative memory neural networks serve as a relevant model for understanding consciousness. Two existing quantum models of consciousness are discussed, though the abstract does not specify which ones or provide evidence for or against them.

Abstract
Some contributions of physics towards the understanding of consciousness are described. As recent relevant models, associative memory neural networks are mentioned. It is shown that consciousness and quantum physics share some properties. Two existing quantum models are discussed.
