微管中的量子意识——基于Orch OR模型的意识探析

Quantum Consciousness in Microtubule:An Analysis about the Consciousness in Orch OR Model

长期以来,意识是神经计算产物似乎已经成为意识研究领域内大多数学者的共识。然而,一种量子意识模型——Orch OR模型——主张意识是大脑神经元微管中量子引力效应的结果,则将我们对意识的研究目光引向了量子力学领域。Orch OR模型的量子意识解释机制虽然遭受到了来自多方面的质疑和批评,但其创立者彭罗斯和哈梅洛夫都从相关角度给予了反驳,试图从理论上维护该模型的合理性。透过对Orch OR模型的分析,我们发现,该模型在有着积极的哲学意义的同时,对意识解释还存在着某些不足,有待进一步探讨。

Consciousness to be considered the result of neuron computation is accepted by most of the researchers in consciousness field. But,a kind of quantum consciousness model,Orch OR model,insists that consciousness is the result of quantum computation in microtubules caused by quantum gravity,which draws our consciousness research orientation to quantum mechanics field. Although there are countless critiques and queries about Orch OR model,its founder,Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff,never stop to refute them,offering great theoretical support to Orch OR. By analyzing the Orch OR model,the author finds that while of philosophical significance,the model is not adequate in consciousness interpretation,therefore its effectiveness is to be proved.
