| Sal.Paradise said: Quantum effects are only significant on a microscopic level. On a macroscopic level their effects are 'averaged out' in the thermodynamic/entropic soup, thus we have common properties for materials etc etc. Translated: I don't think quantum theories are significant enough in this debate, but that I haven't really read much on that strand of the issue. |
Several hypotheses have the brain working with quantum effects:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_brain_dynamics
But aslong as we dont have a theory for everything in physics and know how the brain works. Its all just guessing. Nobody has the slightest idea if we have a free will or not. There are so many holes in the knowledge about us and the universe that a fundamental question like this cant possibly be answered.
