Short abstract
Neuropsychological research on the neural basis of behavior generally posits that brain
mechanisms fully suffice to explain all psychologically described phenomena. Terms having
intrinsic experiential content (., "feeling," "knowing" and "effort") are not included as causal
factors because they are deemed superfluous to the causal mechanisms of brain function.
However, principles of quantum physics causally relate mental and physical properties. Use of
this causal connection allows neuroscientists and psychologists to more adequately and
effectively investigat
