Trying to find a good site on quantum thought theory that is not steeped in spiritualistic mumbo-jumbo...
current search string
Damned UBB...
This looks promising, though it is long...

Ooh.. and an old post by Jack Simth that has to do with this (remotely):

Why sure we do - even if you postulate that everything there is to a person is based solely on the various chemical and physical properties of that person's constituent elements, there is still the problem of Quantum Mechanics. The exact processes of the brain are poorly understood, but it is known that many of the processes run on an infintesimal scale, at which point the local randomness of QM becomes significant, which eliminates determinism as viable, leaving free will as a tenable approach.
Besides, I have to remind myself to eat. I can very easily get caught up in something and forget....
Edit: I kan't spell....
Note: this is not to start up an old debate, merely to point out that I am not the only person with an idea about quantum mechinacs and the brain...
