The archetypal molecular patterns of conscious experience are quantum analogs

This recently published open-access study in the Journal of Multiscale Neuroscience explores a groundbreaking, quantum-inspired model of consciousness. The paper examines how conscious experience may arise from quantum-like vibrational excitations within water–protein structures in the brain.

It proposes that oscillations in the brain’s magnetic field generate dipolar waves in interfacial water molecules. These waves move through aromatic amino-acid protein channels, forming quasi-polaritons that may act as physical correlates of conscious experience across the neocortex.

This research reflects Dr. Manahel Thabet’s ongoing engagement with pioneering scientific perspectives and contributes to the growing dialogue at the intersection of neuroscience, molecular biology, and quantum physics.
