The Brain Is Unavoidably Quantum — and Piezoelectricity May Be the Missing Bridge
The Brain Is Unavoidably Quantum — and Piezoelectricity May Be the Missing Bridge A Neurophysics Perspective on How Quantum Matter Becomes Thought By EyeHeart Intelligence A Publication of the EyeHeart Universe Research Collective Introduction: Reframing the Question Correctly The question of whether the brain is “quantum” has often been framed poorly—oscillating between overstatement and dismissal. Either the brain is portrayed as a mystical quantum computer, or quantum mechanics is declared irrelevant to cognition altogether. From a neurophysics standpoint , both extremes miss the mark. A more accurate and scientifically grounded statement is this: The brain is unavoidably quantum at the foundational level because it is composed of matter governed by quantum physics, and its biological function depends on quantum-governed processes. The open question is not whether quantum mechanics is involved, but how quantum-scale dynamics influence neural computation across scal...
