This has been around for about 20 years, when Roger Penrose proposed it,
and later Stuart Hameroff, an anesthesiologist, became aware of it, and
developed it further.
Hameroff has been hammered by physicists, because they see the brain as
too wet and noisy for quantum vibrations; and by neuroscientists who are
protecting their theories, which are no where near explaining
consciousness, which they call the "hard problem." Scientists shutter
when someone proposes that consciousness is universal.

Omega Point
Recent discoveries in neuroscience support a twenty-year-old
controversial theory of consciousness entitled Orch-OR that states
that consciousness does not emerge from complex computational
activities inside the brain, as it was previously thought, but rather
it emanates from quantum vibrations inside the microtubules. These
microtubules are microscopic tubular structures present inside brain
neurons. According to this theory, developed by Sir Roger Penrose and
Stuart Hameroff, consciousness exists as quantum information
everywhere in the universe; we are merely the receivers of it rather
than the creators. Omega Point invites the participants to perceive
themselves as part of a cybernetic universe of infinite quantum
information feedback loops.
