An experiment suggests that quantum processes (entanglement) might be used by brain functions which could explain memory performance and conscious awareness.
The researchers used a quantum gravity experiment to measure the proton spins in ‘brain water’ using an MRI. They deduced that the likely explanation for entanglement they observed is that the brain must have quantum process mediating it.
If the brain has quantum processes the implications for AI research and quantum computing could be huge. The two fields might be more closely linked than we thought.

Chess Players Lose 10 Lbs Average over a 10-Day Tournament
Chess players burn a lot of calories at the highest levels of competitive chess tournaments. Chess players can burn up to 6,000 calories in a day by playing a tournament (three times what a normal person burns in a day). A study of 21-year-old grandmaster, Mikhail Antipov, found that he burned 560 calories in two hours—roughly what Roger Federer burns in one hour of playing tennis.
