The Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch OR) theory, proposed by physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, is a groundbreaking approach to understanding consciousness. This page explores the fundamental concepts and key players behind this revolutionary theory.
Central to the Orch OR theory is the role of microtubules in quantum computations within neurons. Explore our interactive 3D model of a microtubule:
The theory proposes that quantum coherence can be maintained in microtubules, leading to quantum computations. This interactive chart shows the theoretical duration of quantum coherence in different scenarios:
