Nanoscopic Structures in the Brain Capable of Stabilizing Quantum States: Consciousness Itself May Be a Quantum Phenomenon

Recent research into the possibility that consciousness is a quantum phenomenon has found evidence that nanoscopic structures in our bodies may be capable of sustaining quantum states necessary for such processes to occur.  Previous experiments have found that molecular structures in the chlorophyll found in plant cells are capable of hosting particles in quantum states, […]

An Unidentified Neurological Illness Is Spreading in Canada’s Atlantic Region

A mysterious progressive neurological illness appears to be spreading in two areas along the east coast of the Canadian province of New Brunswick, according to an anonymous source working with the public health authority in the region. Although the condition, called a “Neurological Syndrome of Unknown Cause” by the provincial government, is similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease but […]

Using Artificial Brains To Build a Better Nose

It might sound like a concept straight out of a sci-fi horror film, but for the last two decades California-based biotech company Koniku has been developing a computer powered by what is essentially a brain-in-a-jar: a computer module that uses synthetic neurons that harness the processing power of biological brain cells. And the company has […]

Injectable Nanoparticles Could Monitor Brainwaves Without Needing Surgery or Implants

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed a nanoscale particle that converts the brain’s electrical impulses to infrared light, optical signals that can be picked up by sensors outside the body that don’t require a hardwired connection that passes through the skull, and also could improve the response time of devices that would be controlled […]
