Studying the Brain with… Quantum Mechanics?



SciShow Psych

Quantum mechanics may not seem like it has anything to do with human psychology, but some psychologists are starting to borrow concepts from the field to help make human behavior more predictable.

  1. The universe is a brain.
    Because; We are Never separate from the quantum field, most people are just unaware of it. and if you are unaware of it, it doesn't exist for you.
    — dr. Joe Dispenza
    Any information in creation exists in parallel.
    Because; every being is a spark of the divine.
    — Eckhart tolle

    Space and time ?
    Space and silence are two aspects of the same thing. The same no-thing. They are externalization of inner space and inner silence, which is stillness: the infinitely creative womb of all existence.
    — Eckhart Tolle
    Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion.
    — Eckhart tolle
    ________________________________________
    Nothing + silence + stillness ! = Stillness; the infinitely creative womb of all existence; point of view! you are an image.
    And; the image is a dead thing.
    — Jiddu krishnamurti
    From the perspective of the image he has a mind, soul and EGO.
    Otherwise; you are not your mind.
    — Eckhart tolle
    You are not your body.
    — Eckhart tolle
    Nor are you nor your body.
    — Buddha
    You exist as an idea in your mind.
    — Suzuki
    Science deals with matter only and the soul is an atomic particle of consciousness.
    — Erwin schrodinger ( Noblest ).

    I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.
    — Max Planck ( Noblest )

    All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force
    — Max Planck

    Force ? = Slavery is a state controlled by the upper force.
    Excessive pressure of slavery creates a force that destroys this slavery.

    Common force! = Any desire of the universe produces a force according to its own needs.
    Thinking and Imagination is a process that no rules apply to, and it is a state of consciousness of an endless singularity.
    Thinking is a process of changing (as needed ) thinking of another thought.
    Imagination means creating images.
    — Jiddu Krishnamurti

    Because; the thought ( you are ) is not thinker.
    — Eckhart tolle
    And; there can be no thinker without thought.
    — Jiddu Krushnamurti

    The total number of minds in the universe is one; in fact, consciousness is a singularity phasing within all beings.
    — Erwin schrodinger ( Noblest )
    _________________________________________The mind is always quiet.
    the mind becomes perfectly still – not enforced, not controlled, not hypnotised. And it must be still because it is only in stillness that a totally new, unrecognisable thing can take place.
    — Jiddu Krishnamurti

    the stillness of a mind that has struggled with thought, controlled thought, suppressed thought.
    — Jiddu Krishnamurti

    time and order exist chronologically—the bus, the train.
    time is a gradual process, a continuation of yesterday through today to tomorrow—a duration.
    — Jiddu Krishnamurti
    Without consciousness we cannot talk to ourselves.
    Between two Thoughts pure consciousness.
    — Eckhart tolle
    Present moment is possible only through consciousness.
    The moment you realize you are not present, you are present.
    — Eckhart tolle
    Otherwise when you are conscious of a subject then one image is conscious of another image.
    Because the observer ( you are ) is total sum of past experience.
    — Jiddu krishnamurti

    Your life is a mirror image of your mind, your consciousness, and who you really are.
    — dr. Joe Dispenza

  2. I would totally agree with the observation that psychology has a "cululative emotional budget" that makes up a person's mood, and it works a lot like trigonometry, in your example, where you have to deal with polynomials, and the order of operations is important. The breakthrough is to see what emotional "order of operations" fits with the different emotional states a person has. Addition is addition and subtraction is subtraction, and how about division? Emotional states are based on the potentials a person has, and it's never binary, it's always floating on a spectrum with an established threshold.

    Nice work! I'd love to see if the application of "quantization" of emotional events in context can make a predictable result and tell you if the person is an Artificial Intelligence or not. It's literally a scene out of Blade-Runner, with the analysis machine testing the renegade artificial beings. The question becomes "Can you tell if someone is dangerous or not?"

    The results may not to be to catch the criminal, but to make them think they've been caught.

  3. You guys ever just think like… we could be just so wrong about everything. What if like one decimal place forgot to get carried at some point in history and somehow we fucked it all up and that’s why we can’t do certain things. I don’t know if we can ever truly know if we have it right tho because there’s no like physics teacher to come check our answers. We just kinda make sure we’re right over and over again and it keeps working out.

  4. I think a lot if this stuff happens bc humans are not logic machines/computers. Logic is a tool for us to satisfy the desires/emotions we have. It’s not out primary function to act logically or seek the truth but rather to just feel good.

  5. According to the no-hiding theorum, quantum information cannot be destroyed, but will rather return to the subspace of the environment. If the mind is found to originate from quantum mechanics, would this mean the information of the mind cannot be destroyed m

  6. So this is outside my knowledge, don’t action potentials use sodium ions and potassium ions? I mean also if there’s electrical signals in there why would these little bits not be governed by quantum? Watch our brain just be a complex quantum computer and the superposition wavefunction “cloud” be our consciousness

  7. Is this why I have weird experiences. Cause my mind feels built for pairing anything, matter, the behavior of matter, just lots of things I couldn't Kno I somehow think outlud in my head then I say and they become tht an it feels like I'm manifesting but there's like alot of different forms of this of which all I can feel a understanding. I couldn't tell you how I understand but like for example..
    once my sudden outlandish thought is a.thought,
    in my head,
    it isn't outlandish anymore.
    but in the same way
    It never was outlandish anyway because it was what I thought, knew and still agree with now. I'm pretty good at predicting of behavior,

  8. Maybe instead of using quantum physics to figuire out why the test subjects dont want to play again because they dont know what happened. Try asking them.

  9. Man is necker cube weird, at first object appeared normal but as i continued to observe flips got more common, it even flipped upside down for a quick second and that caused me a headache.

  10. ….but evidence shows microtubules take advantage of quantum mechanics to ultimately create a mind of possibility.

    I’d love to hear you try and deny that evidence!

  11. It is quantum mechanical models that accurately PREDICT human behaviour, not explain it, the same way quantum mechanics predicts the behaviour of quantum phenomena, but does not explain it.

    Basically, tackling one mystery with another that happens to behave in the same way and has a robust mathematical model that accurately predicts the results of said mysteries.

  12. I’d honestly bet this goes way deeper and that the brains functions is dependent on quantum mechanical processes. aka Orchestrated objective reduction

  13. Can someone explain the double slit experience? How do the electrons know they are being watched? This is driving me crazy, I don’t understand it 😅

  14. "A x B <> B x A" literally made me wrinkle my nose in disgust. Is there a psychological reason quantum theory illicits this response? Or am I just bad as math?

  15. The thing about your holidays… Surely it's just about your change in mood when you remember the fight? Since when did we look at human brains like computers?

  16. This is absolutely correct. Especially when you take into account Nische's "Stare long enough into the abyss and it will stare into you". This is why elderly professors of quantum mechanics know what they are doing or where they are but never both at the same time.

  17. As all matter and energy are created by vast amounts of quantum particles it seems likely that brain function relies on quantum spookiness, which could help explain why knowledge = state.

    I wonder if time has a minimum size? Like at the quantum level quarks are the smallest particle we've found, and they always come in pairs of 3. What if time has a minimum quantum scale? Could observation and quantum fact be tied together because the universe has a frame rate?

  18. The act of measuring changes what is being measured. Heisenberg uncertainty principle (double slit experiment). Same with consciousness.

  19. Oh dears. Human cognition so totally functions at the quantum level.
    We just need to wait a couple decades for science to catch up to the fact.

  20. I know this isn’t what the video is suggesting, but it makes me wonder is quantum physics plays a role in our psychology. It makes sense basic principles on how reality works at a basic level would ripple out and form everything

  21. I wish more people understood that they didn't know something, especially about human nature. You see someone do something irrational, you immediately assume they're stupid. You then learn why they did it and boom you're the stupid one for supposing. People don't take into account that they may not know something. This is the same for human behaviour, not just knowledge. Sometime might walk up to an ADHD person and ask why they're not doing this simple task, not understanding that it might be really difficult for that person to do that task because the person's brain can't compute to do the task. I've heard people be very cruel to others just because they couldn't understand the other's reasons or how they're brain functioned.
