Abstract

In this paper, we have attempt to understand the complex processes using the quantum computing techniques in the multidimensional universe having observable super-gravity effects in general, brain in specific using a simple quantum model of mind. Brain process the information through the neurons. The microtubules being an integral part of the neurons do perform the computation in the brain and also help in the transfer of information. We discuss the implications of assuming that consciousness is generated by the sub-neuronal process. The electric signal processing in different communication channels is discussed from a different perspective. We discuss the implications by assuming that the consciousness is generated by the microtubules as sub-neuronal processors.
