In the 1990s his interests began to move back towards science, and in particular the reviving study of consciousness.
In doing this, he soon became disillusioned with mainstream forms of consciousness studies, based on classical physics. By contrast, he drew inspiration from Roger Penrose's proposal that consciousness related to a fundamental aspect of the universe. However, in recent years he came to feel that the Penrose theory was itself in need of some updating, principally in response to advances in quantum biology and neuroscience. This resulted in 'Consciousness, Biology and Fundamental Physics'.view less
