The Holoinformational Model of Consciousness An Extension of Pribram's Monism (original) (raw)
This paper addresses a quantum-informational holographic model of consciousness based on the holonomic neural networks of Karl Pribram, in the holographic quantum theory developed by David Bohm, and in the non-locality property of the quantum field described by Umezawa. We consider this model an interconnection between brain and mind by means of quantum microsites named dendrons and psychons, as proposed by Sir John Eccles. A dynamic concept of consciousness is assumed as a holoinformational flux interconnecting the holonomic informational quantum brain dynamics, with the quantum informational holographic nature of the universe. This self-organizing flux is generated by the holographic mode of treatment of neuronal information and can be optimized through altered states of consciousness that underlie the coherence of cerebral waves. In brain mapping studies performed during the occurrence of these harmonic states the spectral array of brain waves is highly synchronized and perfectly ordered like a unique harmonic wave, as if all frequencies of all neurons from all cerebral centers play the same symphony. This highly coherent brain state generates the non-local holographic distributed informational cortical field of consciousness that interconnect the entire human brain with the quantum-holographic universe. The comprehension of this holonomic quantum informational nature of brain-mind-universe interconnectedness allows us to solve the old mind-matter Cartesian hard problem in a more transdisciplinary and integrated paradigm.
