I came across this link: http://spie.org/x648.html?product_id=540785
Paper abstract:
It was published in a journal called "Quantum Information and Computation II". I checked the accepted journal list of physicsforums (this one http://www.thomsonscientific.com/cgi...cgi?PC=MASTER ) and in it i found this journal "QUANTUM INFORMATION & COMPUTATION". I do not know if this is the same journal, because of the missing "II". When i googled the journal name, i also found it with the numbers III, IV, V, VI, VII, etc. So perhaps it just gets a new number every year or every 2 months.
Im curious if more is known about this research. Has it been replicated, explained, debunked?
Paper abstract:
In recent times the interest for quantum models of brain activity has rapidly grown. The Penrose-Hameroff model assumes that microtubules inside neurons are responsible for quantum computation inside brain. Several experiments seem to indicate that EPR-like correlations are possible at the biological level. In the past year , a very intensive experimental work about this subject has been done at DiBit Labs in Milan, Italy by our research group. Our experimental set-up is made by two separated and completely shielded basins where two parts of a common human DNA neuronal culture are monitored by EEG. Our main experimental result is that, under stimulation of one culture by means of a 630 nm laser beam at 300 ms, the cross-correlation between the two cultures grows up at maximum levels. Despite at this level of understanding it is impossible to tell if the origin of this non-locality is a genuine quantum effect, our experimental data seem to strongly suggest that biological systems present non-local properties not explainable by classical models.
