Ep110 "Is consciousness related to quantum physics?" (with Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff)
Podcast: Inner Cosmos with David EaglemanPublished On: Mon Jun 30 2025
Description: Can we explain consciousness as emerging from classical neuroscience, or do we require deeper principles? Could quantum physics have something to do with it? Is it possible that consciousness predates biology, and biology evolved to take advantage of it? What are the right ways to build new theories in neuroscience when we don’t know the answers? Join Eagleman with Nobel laureate Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff to explore the controversial idea that there could be, even possibly, any connection between quantum theory and our awareness of the world.
