Experiments.- Questions and Answers About Minds -- The Fundamentally Mental Character of Reality -- Conclusions. 330 $aThis 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. 606 $aPsychology 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aPhilosophy of mind 606 $aNeurobiology 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aPopular Science in Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q18003 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aPhilosophy of Mind$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E31000 606 $aNeurobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25066 606 $aNeuropsychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12030 615 0$aPsychology. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aPhilosophy of mind. 615 0$aNeurobiology. 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 14$aPopular Science in Psychology. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Mind. 615 24$aNeurobiology. 615 24$aNeuropsychology. 676 $a150 700 $aStapp$b Henry P$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$050724 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254792503321 996 $aQuantum Theory and Free Will$91570957 997 $aUNINA
