Ever heard of it? Here's a link to the theory by Stuart Hameroff:

I want to understand this better because it seems like a few paradoxes might fall out of this. For example, Hameroff says "As qubits in the brain Penrose suggested superpositions of neurons both firing and not firing." If neurons can be in states of superposition, firing and not firing at the same time, then where does that leave the classical notion of neurons firing in response to stimulation by other neurons? Everything we know about neuroscience would have to be turned on its head!

 

Is anyone an "expert" or QC - or even just know a few things about it?
