1 «Quantum Brain Theory» The change in the quantum brain "predic3ve models" of percep3on influence brain s "crea3ve" ac3vity and the construc3on of the brain, which increases the possibility of development of new knowledge related to the needs' of contemporary responsible change. Sensory informa3on detected by the environment are connected with new thought paberns, to analyze and evaluate more accurately the "forecast scenarios of vision" and then create mental models, more appropriate to understand how things actually are in reality Predic3ve mental models, more advanced can therefore build up from renovate synap3c structures that extend the possible crea3ve interpreta3ons of what we experience and then allow us to find new solu3ons to overcome crisis situa3ons.

2 «QBT: Entanglement & Bio-Photons» The development of "Quantum Neurology" by changing the rules of interpretation of human perception, promotes new scientific content to understand how and what we see in the world. Synapses (or synaptic nanometric -gaps ) were discovered by Santiago Ramón y Cajal in early The Synapses (Chemical 20/40 nm; Electrical 4/5 Nm) are highly specialized structures in communication between neurons. The flow of ions (Ca2 +) positively charged the presynaptic sector so that approaching the postsynaptic sector the electrical potential produces an electrical impulse that triggers the release of neurotransmitters. The electrons that are formed in the spark in the synaptic gap, produce Bio-photons which being in extreme mode 'pressure within the synaptic space reduced to a few nanometers, overlap (entanglement) their wave functions. Therefore it creates entanglement quantum fields of non-local information that sends signals that are simultaneously receivable from large areas of the brain so 'that they may act remotely with synchronous mode. Quantum ENTANGLEMENT à The activity of synapses in neuronal communication has two important functions: A) "local", between two neurons where the intensity of the electric potential of the spark becomes a measure of the quantity and quality of the release of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft, B) production of,"non-local" signals through the quantum entanglement, which makes possible neuronal activities in simultaneous and synergistic modes in large areas of the brain.

3 «Quantum Communication» à The brain as a "quantum computer", constructs and interprets images, sounds and other sensations by means of synaptic contacts within a "nano-time.«dimension of communication. à Recent developments in "Neuroscience-Quantum" bring out a new perspective of "social construction of knowledge" of probabilistic nature that exceeds the limits of the traditional "dualism between culture and nature." à The cognitive and perceptual processes are the result of the calculation of probabilities of the Quantum Brain. à The Quantum Brain compares the different probability scenarios built by the two hemispheres. à In the eventuality of perceptual equivalent probabilities Quantum Brain will highlight optical illusions.

4 < Visual Thinking outside the box > à à From "Uncertainty Principle" (1927) we know that the uncertainty of quantum interactions allows only a probabilistic knowledge. à The QBT applying quantum theory to the functioning of the brain, highlights how the brain's perception is based solely on the probability and so that brain is equipped with ample flexibility' and resilience. Therefore the understanding the world we live in can be shaped epi-genetically from the environment. à QBT transcends the arbitrary separation between "subject and object" of previous scientific conceptions reductionist type of "mechanical thought" The Quantum Brain "builds on inside, sights, sounds, smells and tactile sensations and interprets developing knowledge in finding the best probability consistent with the changes of life. Con the QBT we know that the brain does not see but in true "expected results" from probabilistic scenarios based on an innate tendency to the foresight of the future. In this regard, Rudolf Arnheim in his book "The visual thinking" writes: "..the Cognitive operations called thinking are not privilege of mental processes placed above and beyond perception but the essential ingredients of perception itself." Therefore thought and perception are both built by quantum brain and therefore interact. Consequently, the observation can not 'more' to be considered "objective" as it was possible to become independent of thought of the observer.

5 Quantum Art explores activation of empathy beyond normal expectation The transdisciplinary Movement of Quantum Art and Science (quarte), can be seen as an instrument of representation of a heuristic system, conceptually useful to accelerate creative transformation and to overcoming the cognitive limits of mechanical science., The "Quantum Artist" behaves, like a conscious free thinker, so that, through activation critical / constructive quantum art induced by creative imagination, catalyzes the social empathy in order to accentuate the curiosity and the promotion of science change at the beyond the traditional cognitive domain The commitment of the fourth is to promote the transformation of social thought through the sharing of experience empathic / emotional generated naturally by the activation of neurons mirrors.

6 «Neuro-Aesthetics : Brain Art» Professor Semir Zeki has developed studies' NEURO-AESTHETIC»: i.e. '' L 'Art of the brain in building interior images. " à The Human brain starting from the occipital builds dynamic scenarios inspired to represent the world around.these scenarios are useful to move in an environment of geometries and feelings artistically pleasing.ß Legenda: LE = Left Hemisphere; RE = Right ; G = on-off Glands;M = Mirror- Neurons (empathy) T = Thalamus (Lateral Vision) (emotions);p = Pituitary Gland (impulses & attention, in connession with Amygdala and Locus Coeruleus); O = Occipital Brain, composed by layers V1-V2-V3-V4;C = Cerebellum

7 ß Xà «Mirrors Neurons & Emotional Intelligence» à Prof. Giacomo Rizzolatti, (University of Parma - IT), has recently discovered that a group of Mirror- "Neurons ", located in the prefrontal area, seem to be able to communicate at a distance between people's emotions by empathic interactivity. This particular neuronal activity develops early in the learning of the children as "emotional intelligence" à, This important discovery has opened the way for scientific studies on the 'quantum teleportation' who seek to understand how the brain can develop capacity of simultaneous "empathetic" and sometimes "telepathic à In ancient Greece, Plato and the Pythagoreans believed that the eyes of men and animals had the strength to project a vital fluid that generates emotions. Even today it is said that the eye and the mirror of soul see: à, Today the possible application of telepathy, is thought to be encouraged to communicate between "entangled minds." This creates skepticism in traditional science, but such researches are becoming a challenge for the most advanced studies in scope of "emerging technologies of Quantum Teleportation."

8 «BREAK -CREATIVE EUROPE 2015» à The à Project BREAK proposes a pause for reflection and development of constructivism based on the change promoted by QBT to enhance creativity and innovation, surpassing the now obsolete reductionism of a logical linear growth of the obsolete model of developmentindustrial production. The project aims to create the conditions to promote and uplift a more broader social responsibility of quantum science and art. «Rethinking Science : scientific research has changed the world. Now it needs to change itself with an higher responsibility. - BREAK - BARRIERS for IMPROVING Social Responsibility of Science. à The project BREAK is looking for partners who want to believe in the dream and in the responsibility of promoting new cultural choices, facilitating an exchange of ideas of science, art and innovation, as a foundation to raise the thrust in the evolutionary creativity of 'humanity' Paolo Manzelli e Daniela Biganzoli egocreanet2012@gmail.com
