If The Brain Is A Computer, Is The Mind A Quantum Computer?
There are neuroanatomists who believe that the brain behaves as a parallel processor (right hemisphere) and a serial processor (left hemisphere).
I’d like to take this analogy one step further: if the brain is a computer, could the MIND be a quantum computer?

I haven't thought of it that way, Mike, but it does make sense on some levels.

Just a thought, but: When the mind/body accomplishes an information based function: a mathematical extrapolation, or interprets a memory, or imagines a possibility, couldn't that mind/body be considered as functioning in another dimension, a quantum dimension, apart and beyond inanimate cause and effect?
Also, doesn't the digital, informational nature of the genetic code define life as an informational entity and in another informational dimension, operating beyond the physical dimension of inanimate cause and effect?
Perhaps life itself, information-ally determined, maintained and embodied in living entities, allows living entities to operate as quantum machines,
Life as Quantum Existence.-mld
