Description: Consciousness and quantum mechanics are two great mysteries of our time, and recently scholars have postulated a deeper connection between them. Exploring this possible connection can be exciting: an analysis of the conscious mind and the psychophysical connection may be indispensable to understanding quantum mechanics and solving the notorious measurement problem, and it is also likely that there is some kind of intimate connection between quantum mechanics--the most fundamental theory of the physical world--and our efforts to explain, in a naturalistic way, the phenomenon of consciousness. This is the first volume to offer a comprehensive review and thorough analysis of the intriguing conjectures about the connection between consciousness and quantum mechanics. Written by leading experts in physics, philosophy, and cognitive science, it will be of great use to students and researchers working on the foundations of quantum mechanics and the philosophy of mind.
