Comment on: ‘Experimental indications of non-classical brain function’ 2022 Journal of Physics Communications 6 105001

Abstract

A recent paper in this journal presents magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data on humans which are asserted to ‘suggest that we may have witnessed entanglement mediated by consciousness-related brain functions. Those brain functions must then operate non-classically, which would mean that consciousness is non-classical.’ Unfortunately, the article provides no evidence to justify this claim. In fact, the paper only provides evidence for what we already knew: the brain (and any other living tissue) is complex, multicompartmental, and imprecisely characterized by MRI.
