Study Suggests Spins of ‘Brain Water’ Could Mean Our Minds Use Quantum Computation
In the ongoing work to realize the full potential of quantum computing, scientists could perhaps try peering into our own brains to see what’s possible: A new study suggests that the brain actually has a lot in common with a quantum computer.

Sweeet juicy brains

These signals aren’t normally detectable via MRI, and the thinking is that they showed up because the nuclear proton spins in the brain were entangled.
They are normally detectable using fMRI.
fMRI detects oxygen usage by the brain. More oxygen usage means more brain activity.

What the heck. This is pseudoscience.
