sdom says each brain cell is a single processing unit making an on-off decision — fire, or don't fire - depending on the state of its neighbors. But, Stuart Hameroff, Professor of Anesthesiology at the University of Arizona, thinks neurons are not the fundamental information-processing unit in the brain. He sugges

e neurons. Penrose had been looking for a mechanism in the brain that would explain how brains solve non-computational problems. Together Penrose and Hameroff propose tubulin micro tubes are quantum gravity computers that allow us to think non-computationally and are the seat of consciousness. The ideas are

. After all, nerves have wiring within them to carry information to the synapses and it’s likely this wiring is involved in the thinking process. But Hameroff is not finished. He has teamed up with Roger Penrose to bring quantum mechanics into the picture. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015813 124 Are the Androids Dream

as logical problems. Where is the logic limit for life? We have no answer for this yet, but we do know the logic limit for computing; it is given by Rice’s Theorem. Named after Henry Rice, and proven in 1951 as part of his doctoral thesis at Syracuse University, Rice’s Theorem states: “No nontrivial f

tubulin molecules can flip between two states, propagating a ripple along the tube wall. The scale is small enough for quantum effects to matter, and Hameroff suggests quantum error correction keeps the ripples from decohering too fast. Because the processing is happening at a molecular level rather than at

is also, interestingly, the protein that unzips the double helix when a cell divides, and so plays a fundamental role in our evolution. Penrose and Hameroff suggest these tubes form the true processing element in our brains. The walls of the tubes are formed of successive alpha and beta tubulin molecules.

in non-computable thought. It is his ‘machines’ we will look at next. Penrose-Hameroff Machines, aka Brains Roger Penrose of Oxford University and Stuart Hameroff of the University of Arizona have proposed a very different way to understand the workings of the brain. They focus on the much smaller scale structu
