Is there a quantum basis for HUMAN AWARENESS? Our awareness a PART of the UNIVERSE right?

Your thoughts are eagerly anticipated.

Be well,

I do not think we have decided what awareness is, let alone whether it has a quantum basis. Whether the brain facilitates quantum effects, however, has been the subject of past debate.

DO you have a BEST guess as to WHAT 'awareness' IS?

Might I suggest that you go down to the philosophy boards and look at the various consciousness threads? They have been all over most of the definitions and problems.
