Consciousness and classical physics are related through debates on whether classical models can account for subjective experience, as seen in the limitations of classical physics in addressing the informative nature of consciousness [1], the use of classical 'zombie' arguments to challenge the necessity of experience [2], and the reliance of mainstream neuroscience on classical neural network models [3]. Additionally, consciousness field theory attempts to integrate both quantum and classical physics frameworks to explain the nonlocal nature of consciousness [4].

Quantum Theory of Consciousness - Scirp.org. scirp.org 1 fact
claimQuantum physics is necessary for studying consciousness because it uses wave functions to analyze the informative aspects of an object, whereas classical physics averages out these possibilities and cannot address the informative or conscious nature of existence.
Moving Forward on the Problem of Consciousness - David Chalmers consc.net 1 fact
claimHenry Stapp uses the 'zombie' possibility in classical physics to argue that if physics is causally closed, physically identical zombies with the same behavior are logically possible, which suggests experience plays no essential role in behavior.
Theories and Methods of Consciousness biomedres.us 1 fact
claimMocombe's consciousness field theory posits that consciousness is nonlocal and persists outside of the brain, incorporating evidence from post-materialism, panpsychism, and reified cosmopsychism grounded in quantum and classical physics.

perspectiveMost neuroscientists focus on classical physics explanations for consciousness, emphasizing neural networks and information processing rather than quantum mechanical models.
