Hoped for Results
Any echo time > 10 -6 sec should be considered to be a strong support for Penrose- Hameroffs theory.
Such a result should be an incentive to search for the brain mechanisms that screen off decoherence in order to build better quantum computers.
Notes:
A time in that order would already be true sensation. It would not only support the idea that quantum computing is possible in the brain (and in the retina) but it would of course attract the designers of quantum computers to learn the tricks of screening off environmental decoherence from nature.
