Nah, son. Consciousness and sentience are quantum, and advanced sentience leads to sapience. Why do you think the general consensus among anons is that quantum computing will lead to true AI.
Anyhow, here's Dr Stuart Hameroff MD and Sir Dr Reverend Roger Danger Penrose PHD ESQ RKOouttanowhere on the quantum nature of consciousness and the how neuronal microtubules act as a qubit matrix allowing continuous superposition collapse, which, I guess, equates to the universe observing itself.
Penrose starts (if I remember correctly), and his talk lies on the outer edge of theoretical physics (read his Cycles of Time for a mindfuck), and Hameroff finishes with the meat and potatoes of the matter.
