In this talk at Mindfest 2024, Hartmut Neven proposes that conscious moments are generated by the formation of quantum superpositions, challenging traditional views on the origins of consciousness.

This presentation was recorded at MindFest, held at Florida Atlantic University, CENTER FOR THE FUTURE MIND, spearheaded by Susan Schneider. Center for the Future Mind (Mindfest @ FAU): fau.edu/future-mind/
