ABSTRACT

At Christmastime 1975 the issues of quantum physics became relevant to my explorations of how the brain works. I had come to an impasse with regard to two aspects of brain function. One impasse was the dilemma of whether to think about the events which occurred at the junction between, and in the fine branches of, nerve cells as wave forms or as statistical aggregates. This dilemma appeared to me to be similar to that faced in quantum physics where electrons and photons – particles – at times displayed the characteristics of waves.
