The nature of quantum parallel processing and its implications for coding in brain neural networks: a novel computational mechanism Open
Conventionally it is assumed that the nerve impulse is an electrical process based upon the observation that electrical stimuli produce an action potential as defined by Hodgkin Huxley (1952) (HH). Consequently, investigations into the com…

Passing the Wave – How Does the Action Potential Pulse Pass Between Axons and Dendrites? Open
The action potential is an ensemble of three inseparable concurrent states, one of which is a soliton known as the action potential pulse (APPulse). Here we consider how the pulse may pass from one neuron to another. On the basis of the ev…

Neurocomputational mechanisms underlying perception and sentience in the neocortex Open
The basis for computation in the brain is the quantum threshold of “soliton,” which accompanies the ion changes of the action potential, and the refractory membrane at convergences. Here, we provide a logical explanation from the action po…

The Use of Isoflurane and Adjunctive Magnesium Chloride Provides Fast, Effective Anaesthetization of Octopus vulgaris Open
A wide variety of substances have been used to anaesthetise invertebrates, but many are not anaesthetics and merely incapacitate animals rather than preventing pain. In essence, the role of an ideal general anaesthetic is to act as a muscl…
