Abstract: In 1957, H. Everett presented the hypothesis of “multi-world dynamics” or “multiverse”. Over the past 20 years, the “many minds interpretation” approach evolved. Also, there are attempts to combine these two scientific paradigms. It is about combining neurosciences (sciences about the brain) with quantum theory. This was done on the basis of the Eskov-Zinchenko effect, i.e. evidence of the loss of ergodicity of biosystems. It is this effect that reveals the strengths and weaknesses of Mensky's quantum theory of consciousness. We emphasize that this theory was not discussed for the last 15 years, although it deserves special attention from neuroscientists.

Keywords: consciousness, uncertainty, quantum reduction, Eskov-Zinchenko effect.
