in my next several blog posts I will address mind-brain interaction, drawing from several articles. in these articles the cognitive mind CAN BE considered immaterial, but with causal effects on material brain activity.
i am leading off with a 2019 article composed by mohammad jamali and coworkers entitled “a proposed mechanism for mind-brain interaction using extended bohmian quantum mechanics in avicenna’s monotheistic perspective.” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e02130) the authors state that "mind is very different from the matter due to its specific properties, such as unity, integrity and irreducibility to components, and the presence of some special laws and concepts such as perception, specific qualtiy of mental states, thinking, creativity, self-awareness, consciousness, etc. in contrast, matter, especially in classical physics, is known to have properties such as locality in time and space, reducibility to components, atomistic individuality, etc.” the authors show that mind and mental states can affect brain’s activity withouT any violation of physical laws.” the connection between mind AND BRAIN IS MADE THROUGH QUANTUM MECHANICS, SPECIFICALLY BOHMIAN QUANTUM MECHANICS. (i HAVE ALLUDED TO THIS CONNECTION IN MY WRITINGS.)
THE NEXT SERIES OF ARTICLES THAT WILL FOLLOW ADDRESS THE RELATION OF WAVE FORMS TO BRAIN ACTIVITY. I SUGGEST THE INTERESTED READER ACCESS THESE ARTICLES SINCE I WILL ONLY BE GIVING RELEVANT SUMMARIES.
