Full Description
This book presents a testable framework connecting quantum mechanics, neuroscience, cognitive science, and consciousness research to explore human performance and the nature of reality. Grounded in five empirical premises, it proposes that consciousness operates via a quantifiable mechanism: P = Q/E, where performance equals quantum processing power divided by ego activation. Based on Feynman's path integral formalism, this model shows how reducing self-observation enhances access to the brain's quantum capabilities.
Recent breakthroughs reveal that the brain functions as a classical-quantum hybrid, maintaining quantum coherence at biological temperatures and using decoherence as a survival tool. The book links consciousness to quantum collapse and shows how Default Mode Network activity shapes experienced reality. It offers a unified mechanism explaining how consciousness bridges the classical brain and quantum mind. Addressing foundational questions in physics and cognitive science, it reframes the measurement problem and provides a mechanistic answer to the hard problem of consciousness. It explains phenomena like flow states, savant abilities, and ego-related performance blocks and offers testable predictions for optimizing performance and consciousness development.
Ideal for graduate students, researchers, and interdisciplinary readers, this book provides a rigorous, physics-based framework for understanding consciousness and human experience.
