A Turing machine could never simulate anything down to the quantum level, including brains, which is necessary to solve the binding-problem.

I'm not aware of any data that says either that the brain relies on quantum effects, that quantum effects are needed to solve the binding problem, or even for sure that the binding problem is a problem that needs solving.

I also know of no such data, and only arguments that are not commonly accepted. Anyhow, what prevents a TM simulating a system 'at the quantum level'? A TM has infinite storage by definition, so the state space is not a limiter.

Your left and right visual fields are united in one "space". Classical computation cannot achieve such unity. Digital computation concerns discrete parts changing in discrete steps, which is not like a field at all.

Unless you have a compelling reason for why brains are a unique type of matter whose functions are partly derived from quantum phenomena (more so than other things, that is) then I see no reason why this is true. Or, if it is true despite any lack of uniqueness by brains, then nothing can be simulated because all simulation would be restricted by the quantum barrier.
