Quantum Brain Dynamics




Jibu & Yasue (1995) were the first researchers that tried to popularize the Quantum Field Theory of Nambu-Goldstone Boson s as the one and only reliable Quantum Theory of fundamental macroscopic dynamics realized in the brain with which a deeper understanding of consciousness can be obtained. This theory was originated by Ricciardi & Umezawa (1967) in a general framework of the Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking formalism, and since then developed into a quantum field theoretical framework of brain functioning called quantum brain dynamics (Jibu & Yasue 1995) and that of general biological cell functioning called ''quantum biodynamics'' (Del Giudice et. al., 1986; 1988). There, Umezawa proposed a general theory of quanta of long-range Coherent waves within and between brain cells, and showed an outstanding mechanism of memory storage and retrieval in terms of Nambu-Goldstone bosons characteristic to the spontaneous symmetry breaking formalism.

In their last publication in 1997, Jibu & Yasue proposed that the Bose-Einstein Condensation of tunneling photons could be pumped with energy process ensuring dynamical timescale of the brain coherent states above the timescale of thermal fluctuations (so-called ''dissipative QBD'').

Based on empirical data from Psychometrics , Cognitive Psychology , Information Psychology and Electrophysiology , H. Weiss and V. Weiss (2003) fitted these data into a theoretical framework which is supporting the basic assumptions of other authors, that Bose-Einstein-condensation, symmetry breaking and other related phenomena should be at the core of quantum brain dynamics.
