Stuart Hameroff is an anesthesiologist who teamed with Sir Roger Penrose on a controversial theory of quantum computation in microtubules inside the brain's neurons. More recently Hameroff proposed a 'conscious pilot', in which consciousness moves through the brain's neuronal networks in envelopes of dendritic synchrony.
