The brain oscillates between options like a quantum particle, but without any physical quanta. A mathematical model has shown that quantum-like states emerge from coordinated neural activity. This can be tested with EEG, turning philosophical debates about consciousness into observable science.

Scientists applied the laser principle to crowd behavior. People are like atoms: they get charged by news and slogans. Once enough charge builds up, a single impulse triggers synchronized action. The model promises to predict mass events.
