The Holographic Strange Attractor Model by Claudio Messori: A biophysical model to interpret biological, neurological and psychic phenomena is presented, in a quantum-relativistic key. A central role is attributed to the concept of Spin in explaining space-time geometry as well as the genesis of energetic and sub-energetic phenomena. Energy is considered in relation to both its vectorial and scalar components. The dynamic of cells, neurons and qualia is ascribed to the field of nonlinear transient systems of a chaotic kind, and explained in the light of the syntropic action of a quasi-virtual object known as a HoSA (Holographic Strange Attractor). In conclusion, an epigenetic and relativistic location is assigned to the mental fact, thought, and consciousness.
Quantum Evo-Devo Universe II: Materialists’ Metaphoric Phantoms of Matter in Mind by Graham P. Smetham:In this exploration of Ramachandran’s account of metaphor and language, taking account of the actual evidence provided by evolutionary development biology and quantum physics, we find that his naïve materialist perspective of how brain functioning creates the world of meaning is nothing more than a phantom in his brain. Yet again it will be shown that the primary process of evolution is not that which takes place over time on the material plane but, rather, it is that process of development which cascades from a deep quantum level of intentionality through a sequence of immaterial and subtle “implicate orders” of “unfoldment”, to use the terminology of David Bohm.
Gene, Brain and Behavior by D. M. R. Sekhar: This author is of the opinion that genomes not only can sense both external and internal environments but also can respond intelligently to the changes in the environment and further can construct/control their cell/genome structure due to their intelligent computing abilities. Further genome in all probability is the springhead of brain.
