Finally, we want to emphasize that we have used the non-neuronal network in our consideration, not because we believe that quantum computing is restricted to this network, but because it is experimentally easier to access. We believe that the neuronal network is also based on quantum computing but the shorter time scale in the range of milliseconds is a challenge if experiments have to be performed in-vivo, awake and with budget constraints.
Conclusion
Concepts in neuroscience but also in physics are outdated. New results in quantum cognition, topological physics and quantum computing have to be considered if we want to understand the mind. Our considerations include two new approaches to mind; (a) quantum computation and (b) an unknown non-neuronal network. Combined they deliver, as we believe, a sound story. Of course, many pieces of the jigsaw are still missing but at least we may have a clue now for what we have to look for; topological computing may be the most obvious, natural, and fundamental known concept which could be applied to the mind.
