Page Range: 19 – 22
For the past several years, I have come across occasional references to quantum neurophysiology, not least in your own academic papers on the subject. It seems to me that this emerging field of inquiry is relevant to Yoga and even Yoga therapy. Can you please state briefly the principal concerns (and raison d'être) of quantum neurophysiology? How do these concerns complement, complete, or even contradict conventional neurophysiological models?
