Part 6/10:
To validate their theory, the authors propose an intriguing experiment: connecting a human brain to a quantum computer to explore richer conscious experiences. This suggestion combines neuroscience with quantum technology, hinting at a future where human cognition could broaden significantly. However, the practicality and ethical implications of such an experiment remain to be fully addressed.
They further claim that expanded consciousness occurs during extraordinary experiences—such as those induced by psychedelics or near-death experiences—suggesting a potential overlap between these states and quantum phenomena. This notion adds a layer of complexity to the understanding of consciousness, yet critics remain skeptical of its scientific grounding.
