Is there conscious choice in directed mutation, phenocopies, and related phenomena? An answer based on quantum measurement theory.

Integrative physiological and behavioral science : the official journal of the Pavlovian Society - 1 Jan 2000

Goswami A, Todd D

Abstract excerpt

In a previous article (Goswami, 1997), it was suggested that an application of quantum measurement theory under the auspices of a monistic idealist ontology (that consciousness is the ground of being) can solve many difficult problems of neo-Darwinism, e.g., alternating rapid creativity and homeo...
