• Consciousness in the universe: a review of the 'Orch OR' theory. (2014, background): “Thus if the suggested noncomputable effects of this OR proposal are to be laid bare, where DP is being adopted and made use of in biological evolution, and ultimately orchestrated for moments of actual consciousness, we indeed need significant isolation from the environment.”
• Consciousness In The Universe (2011, background): “Electronic quantum effects occur at ambient temperatures in proteins involved in photosynthesis [123,124], these being thought to be mediated by coherent protein mechanical vibrations [125], very similar to a mechanism proposed by Fröhlich over 40 years ago, and to the mechanism we propose here in t”
• Delocalized excitons in natural light-harvesting complexes (2018, result): “Calculations (Chin et al., 2013) based on density matrix renormalization group technique (Prior et al., 2010) also support this result and suggest the contribution of significant nonequilibrium effects.”
