In this video, we will talk about an unusual explanation of consciousness as a quantum effect...that actually now may have some proof after all.

0:00 Human consciousness and quantum mechanics
0:55 New study about tryptophan
1:30 Penrose proposes consciousness is quantum
3:30 But quantum states are difficult to produce
4:25 Stuart Hameroff explains it with microtubules and anesthesia
5:40 What is consciousness though?
7:20 Anesthesiology research is exciting
8:05 Tryptophan connection
9:25 Ok, microtubules - what are these?
10:35 Microtubules could be the source?
11:30 Disagreement with neuroscience
12:10 New proposition by Penrose and Hameroff
13:20 Basic explanation of everything
14:10 First negative experiment
15:25 Anesthesia experiment finds positive results
16:40 Recent paper shows tryptophan can create quantum effects
18:35 What this shows and why this is important
19:25 Potential medical breakthroughs?
