Mind and Matter. Two Entangled Parallel Time-Lines, One Reconstructing the Past in Remembering, the Other Extrapolating into the Future in Predicting

Abstract

The emergence of collective behavior of myriads of neurons forming coherent patterns of amplitude modulated oscillations is described in terms of quantum field theory formalism with spontaneous breakdown of symmetry. The dissipative quantum model of brain and its results in agreement with observations are discussed. Mental activity and brain activity cannot be separated. In the many-body model they are dynamically entangled. The act of consciousness might reside in such an entanglement.
