Months ago first watched these updated quantum microtubule consciousness ideas related in the video. Then just watched it again today with better clarity and understanding. One ought read my earlier post. (This forum serves as a convenient public depository for some of my science ideas. So am not posting necessarily just for other member's reading.)
I do lean towards a different idea about consciousness than any of those several proposed by neuroscientists. The two leading theories (GWT and IIT) involve connectivity of structures around synapses. A lesser supported group of theories is that it is an electromagnetic (EMC) field effect. My own unique ideas are a bit different than those. I lean towards the mind with the brain being a variable impedance container for complex resonant oscillating standing wave fields. The microtubule theory could be a facet of my ideas.
All living DNA Earth life contains cell walls with small voltage gradients between internal ionic electrolyte solutions and extracellular electrolyte solutions. If one studies brains of all multicellular animals (not plants or earliest sea life) one encounters nerve cells that have put to use those fields to make brains.
Even slime molds that have no nerve cells have EMC fields that apparently make decisions. That EMC field idea solves one of the most difficult mysteries of consciousness, that of how the whole mind has a total simultaneous awareness of its many physically isolated areas. Such is seemingly impossible with electronic devices or brain connectivity theories. Also IMO why current AI science cannot achieve singularity level awareness until it embraces that idea.
Neuroscience expects mental information is somehow accessed via their spiking models. I instead see the spiking as a way to increase the EMC fields around parts of the brain substrates in a broader space beyond just the internal neuron fields that includes both glial cells and extracellular fluid spaces.
Selen Atasoy has a number of Youtube brain imaging videos on her research using MRI machines about connectome brain wave harmonics that lends support for my ideas that I linked to in my earlier post.
All dreaming occurs on our inner mind homunculus multi-ported brain motor and sense structures with external sense inputs inhibited. When awake our awareness is the combined inner brain result of our external sense neural inputs and the confabulating prediction brain our executive pilot control brain controls actions of. The qualia of mind is thus a physical phenomenon of its actual fine level neural substrate container structure. And that may include the microtubule ideas.
My solution is that slow alpha brainwaves are required on those neural substrates in order to have awareness of such dream memories. I dream 100% of the time just not during REM sleep. And have a vast lifetime of such memories, many that are frequently repeated during sleep that disproves the no memory narrative. In other words, we do somewhat store sleep dream memories, a confabulation driven phenomenon, but that storage is not physically reached by gamma waves.
Neural oscillation - Wikipedia
Per my hypothesis, our intelligent entity minds are not our bodies but rather the complex resonant oscillating standing wave fields within neural containers. That is also why eternal life may be possible if our minds are duplicated by non-organic containers with identical impedance properties. Ideas have emerged about microbots being used in the future for a wide range of medical purposes. I read a recent report of a military pilot that possibly had a organic microbot in his body (from a UFO incident) that when they image scanned his mind, moved around until it mysteriously dissolved possibly because it was aware of being tracked.
A set of such microbots might be capable of effectively scanning as digital data, every organic molecular structure in an organic brain. Data that could later be used to build a non-organic impedance matching container. UIE level ancient entities billions of years old would have enormous reasons to create such. And why I still have Christian religious beliefs, though unique.
