However, others believe something more theoretical must be involved to explain our complex perception—quantum physics.

In a 2024 paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Entropy, Neven proposes his own experiment to test the idea of quantum consciousness.

If scientists managed to successfully entangle a brain with a quantum computer, it could lead to higher levels of thinking, creativity, and understanding.

Neven’s quantum theory of consciousness builds upon a framework first proposed by English mathematician Roger Penrose, PhD.

According to Neven, consciousness occurs when a superposition forms rather than when it collapses.
