Our brain matter is stuck at a phase transition, says new study
Based on fractal patterns in neurons, researchers believe our brains exist at or near a state called criticality where they're extremely close to shifting from one state of matter to another. They also admit they don't know what either state is.
Fractal patterns in neurons? Negative, its Orchestrated Objective Reduction, a well established theory for > 25 years.
"Experts" do like to tell us they have a new theory about our brains, but they don't take into consideration our gut flora, our other brain. They also don't talk about our mind.
Orch-OR talks about how our microtubules have a hydrophobic pocket in them which is organised in a coherent state, these are our memories. Its a complicated subject but if you are interested please see https://hameroff.arizona.edu/
