Mental states and brain activity are linked through theoretical models that attempt to integrate them, such as the work of Freeman and Vitiello [1], and through debates regarding their potential quantum-like behavior [2] or their fundamental reducibility [3].

claimThe concept of 'quantum mind without quantum brain' posits that mental states and observables can exhibit features resembling quantum behavior even if the correlated brain activity is entirely classical, provided the partition of neural states is not properly constructed.
claimFreeman and Vitiello (2016) proposed a method to explicitly include mental states in their model of brain activity in their final joint paper.
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu 1 fact
perspectiveThe majority of presentations of the quantum approach to consciousness do not consistently distinguish between mental states and material states, suggesting an underlying assumption of the reducibility of mental activity to brain activity.
