At present, no plausible theory or even working hypothesis of the formation of human consciousness based on physiological processes of the central nervous system has been proposed. An obvious and principial obstacle is, howan immaterial process, consciousness,may arise from any material processes, and vice versa.For this reason, it is extremely difficult to propose such a hypothesis. Therefore, a working hypothesis is proposed based on well known interactions of the human consciousness with quantum submicroscopic processes.
