What does this have to do with supposed qubits inside neurons?
1 comments

A bit technical, but some of the most vocal critics of Orch-OR claimed there was no way that quantum states could orchestrate across synapses or between neurons. This quite interesting finding argues otherwise.
I don't see how this enables any orchestration that other signals do not. There's still decoherence. It must have been among the weakest objections to Orch-OR. Knocking down the weakest counter-argument (which sounds like a strawman) doesn't really bolster the hypothesis in any way.
