Is the Brain a Quantum Computer?

Duh!

DK wrote "duh!"

I can only reply that the meaning or substance of the term "duh!"
escapes me. Some elaboration of this term and the message you wish to
convey might be useful.
For my part, I agree with the authors of the cited paper. Despite the
current fashion for books entitled "Quantum Psychology" or such like,
I can see no compelling reason to invoke quantum level effects to
understand brain function.
