Quantum Information and Consciousness

"e;I loved the book! This book is not just interesting, it is exciting. I have probably read every significant book in the field, and this is the strongest and most convincing one yet. It is also one of the most comprehensive in its explanations. I shall most certainly recommend the book to colleagues."e;-Richard G. Petty, MD"e;a very good introduction to the basic theory of quantum systems Dr. Georgiev's book aptly prepares the reader to confront whatever might be in store later."e; -from the Foreword by Prof. James F. Glazebrook, Eastern Illinois UniversityThis book addresses the fascinating cross-disciplinary field of quantum information theory applied to the study of brain function. It offers a self-study guide to probe the problems of consciousness, including a concise but rigorous introduction to classical and quantum information theory, theoretical neuroscience, and philosophy of the mind. It aims to address long-standing problems related to consciousness within the framework of modern theoretical physics in a comprehensible manner that elucidates the nature of the mind-body relationship. The reader also gains an overview of methods for constructing and testing quantum informational theories of consciousness.
