I too, cannot easily digest the idea of a quantum mind. A QM model does not help us to make any predictions about the brain in the higher-order processes that allegedly give rise to the phenomenons of the mind:
"Based on a calculation of neural dec…
Alzheimer's and related dementias share much in common despite their disparate etiologies. Much can be done to prevent cognitive decline through diet, exercise, affect regulation and social connectedness. Share your research, thoughts and theories.

Kenneth,
I would have to disagree that modeling of the quantum level is as irrelevant in the brain as it would be to "cruise control". The latter exists only in a fairly predeterminate way. Cruise control can only do what it is programmed to do. It…
You are conflating (at least) two ideas, here. I, myself, work on modeling complex systems, and am coming to think that "reduction" of some complex systems is not effective, that reduction cannot reproduce some of the behavior in the complex system.…
I agree Mitchel.best Bo
Bo,
Models are simply that: models. They will never be the same as the individual psyche, but they may come close in approximation, allowing for a certain randomness of choice. Why not welcome the representations while celebrating each being's uniqu…
I just want to emphasize the role of empathy and compassion, perhaps over and above stress reduction, on preventing disease and repairing damage to the immune system. When someone who is suffering experiences empathy and compassion, mirror neurons v…
Wow, Mitchell. That's great stuff. I wish more people would understand the impact of stress reduction and meditation. Too often, especially in the US, we are so quick to take a pharmaceutical for our troubles without first looking at lifestyle choic…
Janet! I have never denied that mathemathics has a great future in neuroscience. Certainly it has.
But I will never believe in a quantum mechanical brain.

What are you holding onto? Describing the physiology of the brain with mathematics doesn't fully describe it or take away from the uniqueness of it. If you are studying math at HS level now, I am almost certain you may not appreciate the beauty…
I have another picture of the brain than quantum mechanics.
I think that psyche i an unique reality which can be the cause of its own (causa sui). And causa sui i based upon a broken but not abolished causality, perhaps in the reflexes of the brain.…
I believe the term neuropsychology needs to be clarified a bit. Normally, when talking about neuropsychology we are concerned primarily about cognition, specifically what cognitive functions are strengths, which are weaknesses, especially which are…
Profile Information
- Main areas of research:
- I am currently focused on creating a compassion and affect regulation-based pain management program for older adults. The goal is to improve pain management while increasing capacity to self-soothe, connect to others, and reduce various diseases of the immune system that especially effect older adults. Prior to that I created a "brain gym" model that improves cognitive functioning while enhancing emotional well-being. My Ph.D. is in Clinical Psychology with post-doctoral psychoanalytic training. I have been developing new clinical techniques and theories of treatment that integrate contemporary findings in the neurosciences.

- Dear Mitchell. In 1996 I was on 3 week course in Alzheimer and other dementias in Holland. But I have not followed it up. But I hope that we can work together with memory and learning scientific problems also in Alzheimers, But I already am member of 14 groups and i cant follow it all. Best from af friend Bo, Denmark
