Intelle Brain If both slits are open, although each individual electron that passes through both slits simultaneously (as an apparent wave) will be recorded as hitting one and only one spot on the detector screen as it morphs from particle to wave and back to particle again, the sum total of many electron hits will show the smear or spread of a classic wave interference pattern, even if one electron is fired and hence recorded on the detector screen before the next electron is fired. Now the implication is that any one electron is conscious and aware of whether one slit or both slits are open, and its behaviour changes accordingly.
