   I'm very skeptical of attempts to explain the mind / consciousness
through theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, etc.

   I think the scientists who are much more likely to make progress on this
question are neuroscientists studying brain anatomy, electrophysiology,
and functional brain imaging. The most helpful book that I've read so far
is Edelman & Tononi, "A Universe of Consciousness"
