Abstract

FINDING: The search results are dominated by popular YouTube videos and speculative claims; only one substantive scientific paper (CMB polarisation experiments BRAIN/CLOVER) appears, which is unrelated to consciousness. No peer-reviewed evidence for quantum effects in the brain is presented. | MATH: No equations, constants, or ratios are extractable from the video titles/descriptions. The sole arXiv paper (astro-ph/0412590v2) concerns CMB B-mode polarisation, with no biological or consciousness content. | CONNECTION: None. The videos invoke "quantum consciousness" but provide no mathematical formalism. The CMB paper involves angular power spectra (ℓ-modes), but this is cosmology, not brain function. No golden ratio, base-60, or crystallographic symmetry appears. | DEPTH: 1 — The finding is a null result: no mathematical content, no testable equations, no geometric harmony. The videos are marketing/entertainment, not research. The CMB paper is real but irrelevant to the query. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
