another one, with formulas, quoted Penrose - prof. in Matematics and Astrophysics, who together with Kip Thorne and Stephen Hawking works on wormholes, besides the neuroscience
In addition to the first article (more understandable), and the second (not so understandable), we'd like to say - the electron waves inside those tubulins could be broken in either way with 50% probability (as any other electron wave, as discovered by Quantum mechanics) - that means one could choose consciously this or that option. 10^18 molecules are pretty much. Control all of them and you have the key to your own decisions, or to someone else's decisions.
(or: some people act unconsciously, under influence of anger, they cannot control themselves, etc. examples. Is it the key to one's self-control, and paradoxically - to somebody's else control?)
Quantum mechanics allows many things to happen on quantum level, that are considered "impossible" on macroscopic level (what we see and touch). For ex. the time (as understood as a physics measurement, as a material measurement, nothing philosophical here) time can flow forward and backward on quantum level <= equally in both directions => and that is not just a theory but experiments proven many times over and over in the supercolliders. The brain is not a supercollider, but seems those quantum processes have other implications in the human brain related to the consciousness and the choice.
