Quantum spin formalism on consciousness

Within the context of brain-based consciousness, the spin-mediated consciousness theory claims that quantum spin is a cog in the wheel of consciousness of consciousness and the linchpin between mind and the brain, that is, spin is the " mind-pixel," and the unity of mind is achieved by quantum entanglement of these mind-pixels. Here, mind is understood as the cognitive faculty in the brain which enables subjectivity to arise from consciousness. The theory is based on the fact that quantum spin is the most basic quantum bit (' qubit') for encoding information and a fundamental quantum process associated with the structure of neural membranes and proteins that are saturated with quantum spin carrying nuclei and these nuclear spins have relatively long quantum coherence time. Furthermore, in both Bohm and Hestenes quantum formalisms, the origin of quantum effects is due to internal motion associated with quantum spin. In this chapter, we first ask three questions: (1) What is the mind-pixel? (2) How does mind achieve binding? (3) How mind-pixels are connected with the classical neural activities in the brain? We then offer possible solutions to each of these three key questions. We then proceed to illustrate the spinmediated consciousness theory insofar as the mechanism by which subjectivity is sourced from " qubits" through the internal motion associated with the quantum spin.
