RECERCAT author Franco Fernández, Rafael 2023-01-20T10:48:52Z2023-01-20T10:48:52Z2022-11-012023-01-20T10:48:52Z Biologists and biochemists have been reluctant to en-ter the realm of consciousness with real scientific meth-ods. One approach by Nobel laureate Francis Crick in hisbook "Astonishing Hypothesis: The Scientific Search for the Soul" [1] was to look at scientific papers that, eventu-ally, could give insight into consciousness. The problem, in my opinion, is that the author took data obtained from experiments in nonhuman animals. The question that imme- diately arises is whether studies using animal models can be of interest to what only humans can have, be aware of and verbalize: consciousness. He focused on the visual system; this is puzzling because blindness is not incompatible with consciousness. In fact, we know that subjective events are noted as consciousness in individuals whose cortical primary visual areas are not functional [2]. cc-by (c) Franco Fernández, Rafael, 2022 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Autoconsciència Bioquímica quàntica Química quàntica Self-consciousness (Awareness) Quantum biochemistry Quantum chemistry On the Mechanistic Perceptions of Consciousness: From Quantum Mechanics to Consciousness and Free Will and from David Bohm to Benjamin Libet info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
