Roger Penrose's Emperor's New Mind discusses quantum effects and brain function. (In a minor way, our conversation is reminiscent of his dialog with Hofstader and his Godel, Escher, Bach: both focus on the same set of ideas, concepts, and phenomena, and manage to reach precisely opposite conclusions. It is even juicy at the meta level given that GEB is in part about 'figure/ground' perception.)

Yes, his life is parted in the middle. I am strictly a fan of the young, fearless, and spiritual Wittgenstein. TPL is inspired thinking.
