An Introduction to Noetic Field Theory: The Quantization of Mind

A conceptual introduction to the quantization of mind is presented in the framework of noetic field theory, the three base states of its cosmology, and its application to the new discipline of quantum cerebroscopy. Although the assumption that awareness is the fundamental principle from which to begin formulating a theory of consciousness is a correct one; the widely held opinion "what processes in the brain give rise to consciousness?" represents a category error for philosophy of mind leading to the recent definition of consciousness as a 'hard problem' ineffable to scientific scrutiny. The realization that DesCartes 'res cogitans' the mind, is not an abstract immateriality, but a physically quantifiable metric intrinsically interacting with 'res extensa' the brain and body, has led to the first empirically testable and comprehensive dualist / interactionist theory of consciousness. Extensions of the standard models of quantum theory and cosmology as well as elements of microgravity are required to formulate Noetic Field theory (NFT). Its broad applications to many fields of science are discussed.
