Visited IIT Mandi as Chief Guest on the occasion of 10th Convocation Day on 5th December, 2022
Congratulating the students at the 10th Convocation of IIT Mandi, he said, "Consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe. An 'inward hierarchy' in quantum brain biology is consistent with Indian Knowledge systems (e.g. 5 Koshas). Quantum state reduction can occur at various levels of the brain hierarchy - 'Atman from Brahman'. At deeper inward levels, consciousness may exist in spacetime geometry independent of biology. While therapies aimed at microtubule resonance e.g. with painless, safe and pleasant brain ultrasound can treat mental and cognitive disorders."
