Postscript - Brain Theory from a Circuits and Systems Perspective - page 181

toggles are explained while keeping in mind the possibility of physical qubits, and
at times, even electrons, which are hardly ever mentioned in neuroscience.
The study of brain systems is embryonic and occasionally mystifying, but there
are many possibilities and opportunities. This topic has revealed a vision of a
system with its own stream of consciousness, using principles well known in the
field of circuits and systems. It seems certain that, if nothing else, the conscious
brain is in fact a complex electrical system, and is best modeled as an electrical
system.
