Or then it may not. Given current knowledge, it is possible - indeed the 
'received' view in the physics community, the Copenhagen interpretation 
- that individual quantum phenomena are genuinely random. It is also 
possible that there are quantum phenomena that are relevant for the 
functioning of the human nervous system (e.g., the retina reacts to a 
single photon; exocytosis relies on quantum tunneling, etc.). If these 
quantum phenomena have some cognitive/experiental relevance (and there 
is very little reason to say that they don't, if we already accept that 
the nervous system and cognition are somehow coupled), then there is a 
very natural way that genuine randomness may be a part of human 
cognition/experience, and also behaviour.
