About this Quote

In this quote, Roger Penrose is referring to his book titled "The Emperor's New Mind" which discusses his viewpoint on consciousness. He recommends that awareness is not just a result of intricate computations or biological procedures, but rather something that can not be described through simply physical ways. Penrose's theory breaks the mainstream scientific view that awareness can be completely comprehended through neuroscience and cognitive psychology.
