Quantum Consciousness & the Architecture of Awareness — with Dr. Stuart Hameroff
Description
In this premiere episode of Anatomical Gangster, Sue Hitzmann sits down with Dr. Stuart Hameroff—anesthesiologist, consciousness researcher, and co-creator of the Orch OR theory with Sir Roger Penrose.
Together, they explore the radical idea that consciousness may arise from quantum processes within the brain’s microtubules—tiny structural elements that could hold the key to understanding awareness itself.
Dr. Hameroff shares the origins of his interest in quantum consciousness, the latest developments in microtubule research, and how his background in anesthesiology shaped his theories.
This episode dives into:
-
The Orch OR theory explained in everyday language
-
How quantum mechanics might operate in the brain
-
The role of interdisciplinary collaboration in consciousness studies
-
What critics get wrong—and what the future might hold
Plus, a preview of the 2025 Science of Consciousness Conference in Barcelona, where global minds will gather to explore the nature of reality.
🎧 Listen now to discover how quantum biology might reshape our understanding of self, soul, and sentience.
