referenceG. Globus published 'Quantum brain theory and the appearing of world' in the Journal of Integrative Neuroscience in 2017, discussing quantum brain theory.
claimThe authors of the paper 'Quantum Models of Consciousness from a Quantum Information Perspective' explored several quantum brain theories, including consciousness occurring within microtubules, consciousness within the electromagnetic field, and cognition via the Posner cluster model.
referenceA study interprets the steps in Matthew Fisher's proposal for quantum brain processing as quantum computing operations, though this specific study does not account for environmental factors.
perspectiveThe authors state that their findings do not conclusively prove Matthew Fisher’s proposal on cognition, but they offer insights into how simplified models and quantum information measures can enhance the understanding of quantum brain theories.
perspectiveSome studies regarding quantum brain processing express skepticism about the possibility of such processes occurring.

claimThe extension of the Ricciardi and Umezawa quantum brain model to dissipative dynamics has been investigated in relation to modeling neural networks that exhibit collective dynamics and long-range correlations among network units.
claimRicciardi and Umezawa proposed a quantum brain model in 1967 based on the quantum field theory (QFT) of many-body systems to describe the nonlocality of brain functions, specifically memory storing and recalling.

referenceGiuseppe Vitiello published research on dissipation and memory capacity within the quantum brain model in the International Journal of Modern Physics B in 1995.
claimStuart Hameroff argues that quantum brain biology can provide a mechanism for conscious free will in his 2012 paper 'How Quantum Brain Biology Can Rescue Conscious Free Will'.

claimQuantum mind models are more parsimonious and stringent than classical models like Bayesian or Markov models because they require fewer free variables to explain order effects, according to research by Atmanspacher and Römer (2012) and Busemeyer and Wang (2018).
