Stapp1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2017.1 online resource (XII, 142 p. 3 illus. in color.) 3-319-58300-X The Origins of the Quantum Conception of Man -- Waves, Particles, and Minds.- The Measuring Process -- Quantum Neuroscience -- The Physical Effectiveness of Mental Intent.-  Reality and Spooky Action at a Distance -- Backward-in-Time Causation? -- Actual Past and Effective Past -- The Libet “Free Will” Experiments.- Questions and Answers About Minds -- The Fundamentally Mental Character of Reality -- Conclusions.This book explains, in simple but accurate terms, how orthodox quantum mechanics works. The author, a distinguished theoretical physicist, shows how this theory, realistically interpreted, assigns an important role to our conscious free choices. Stapp claims that mainstream biology and neuroscience, despite nearly a century of quantum physics, still stick essentially to failed classical precepts in which mental intentions have no effect upon our bodily actions. He shows how quantum mechanics provides a rational basis for a better understanding of this connection, even allowing an explanation of certain phenomena currently held to be “paranormal”. These ideas have major implications for our understanding of ourselves and our mental processes, and thus also for the meaningfulness of our lives.PsychologyQuantum physicsPhilosophy of mindNeurobiologyNeuropsychologyPopular Science in Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q18003Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Philosophy of Mindhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000Neurobiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25066Neuropsychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030Psychology.Quantum physics.Philosophy of mind.Neurobiology.Neuropsychology.Popular Science in Psychology.Quantum Physics.Philosophy of Mind.Neurobiology.Neuropsychology.150Stapp Henry Pauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut50724BOOK9910254792503321Quantum Theory and Free Will1570957UNINA
