At a fundamental level, your brain and the fabric of the universe operate in much the same way according to a recent meta-study published by world-renowned consciousness researchers Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose [Hameroff and Penrose (2013)].
Their theory is based off findings that quantum vibrations occur in microtubules in the brain (discovered by Anirban Bandyopadhyay). These microtubules form the basic structure of cells in our neurons, which are responsible for a wide range of consciousness-related phenomena such as the transmission of thoughts, nerve impulses, and the operation of the five senses, among other things.
The current quantum-level understanding of reality suggests that these same ‘quantum vibrations’ makeup the most fundamental structure of the universe — in essence, they are the fabric of reality itself. This implies a very real and direct connection between the brain, human consciousness and the existence of the Universe — that they are fundamentally inseparable at the quantum level.
