- Abstract:
- The relation of mind and brain has always been a fundamental and challenging problem for science. The study of this subject with the help of modern physics, considering the failure of classical physics and materialistic philosophy in explaining spiritual and mental phenomena, has attracted the attention of contemporary eminent physicist and biologists. This area is known as "quantum consciousness" and involves theories about mind and brain. Among these theories are: Eccles-Beck theory, Heisenberg-James theory (presented by Stapp) and Penrose-Hameroff theory. In dealing with the problem of mind-matter interaction and consciousness, modern physics, psychology and some philosophical schools are used. In this thesis, we have used modern physics in a monotheistic perspective. Thus, on the basis of some experimental evidences and some scientific and philosophical arguments we have concluded that mind (soul) is an immaterial object which has some non-local causal effects in space-time. To do this, we have extended Bohmian quantum mechanics to the level of quantum field theory that is causal and has some non-local effects in space-time. We have also used some analytic methods and computer simulations. Furthermore, we have the language of physics and neuroscience to explain Avicenna's view about the relation of mind and brain. In this framework, we have used been able to present a new model of the mechanism of the effect of the immaterial mind on the brain, using the generalized Bohmian quantum mechanics, in which the laws of physics are respected and our philosophical constraints are met. This theory, which is named "Avicenna-Bohm theory", explains all empirical results in the fields of neuroscience and psychology, and it has some unique predictions. In this thesis, we have suggested some Libet-type experiments to test this theory versus the aforementioned other theories. We have also studied about doing these tests in Iran. In this direction, we have studied about how to generate a feeling in a living animal in order to perform some specific actions, called "Cyborg". We have used a new way of electrical stimulation of an animal’s brain, at ultra-high frequencies, with the minimum damage to the neural tissue. In this we obtain a more complete theory of “Cyborg”
