Electric Currents, EM Fields and EM Radiation in the Brain — Abstract: A paradigm in neuroscience is developing which views resonance as the phenomenon responsible for consciousness in matter. Much progress is being made in the investigation of how resonance as oscillating flows within the brain’s electric field might result in production of mind from matter, but the way vibration among…

Fundamental Physics of the Brain — The Spectrum of Coherence Most have become accustomed to thinking of charge as absolutely differentiated into positive and negative particles interacting in a relatively simplistic manner. A positively charged proton attracts a negatively charged electron, and cations similarly attract anions. Absolute dichotomies such as this do not mesh especially well…

Coherence Field Theory and the Physics of Mind — Consciousness, Quantum Coherence and the Brain In 1983, philosopher Joseph Levine proposed that an explanatory gap exists between comprehension of the physical world and consciousness. Matter as we know it is discrete, deterministic, tangible to the organic body, while the mind seems more indivisible, fluid, spontaneous, fleeting, closer to a…

What are neuronal currents? — The predominant paradigm in neuroscience views neural networks as webs of electric current. A usual assumption is that these currents are transmitted by ion diffusion, but it is actually the case that most ion movement in a neuron consists of perpendicular transit through the cell membrane (via ion channels concentrated…

How Mind May Arise From Matter — Johnjoe McFadden, a British biochemist and researcher, suggests in his papers on consciousness theory that EM fields located throughout the brain, which are generated by the electric charges of highly concentrated ion flow, cause phase locking between neurons via some still unknown mechanism of sensitivity that the molecular structures of…

Interactions of Radiative and Particularate Fields — Atoms, comprised of subatomic particles and their quantized arrangements, have electric charge. The movement of charged particles produces electromagnetic fields. The highly charged nature of ionic movement with its voltage differentials in the nervous system and brain gives rise to a strong electromagnetic field. These charges and strong electromagnetic fields…

Brainstorming the physical structures that generate mind — CEMI and Coherence Fields CEMI (Conscious Electromagnetic Information) theory claims synchronous neuron firing generates strong electromagnetic fields which build up such that even further neurons are activated via an amplifying feedback loop. Upon reaching a sufficiently robust level within relatively large regions of the brain, EM fields can graduate to…

An explanation of the fine structure constant and its revisionary significance for our model of the atom — The fine structure constant is a dimensionless combination of Coulomb’s constant “k”, electric charge “e”, Planck’s constant “h”, and the speed of light “c” in the formula ke²/hc. For any context of units, this constant usually has the same value, approximately 1/137. The maximum quantity of possible paired electron configurations…

Time Dilation and Contraction in Matter — Philosophy and science have long pondered the nature of time. It has traditionally been viewed as a constant though arbitrary yardstick in relation to which material change is measured, but do the basic equations of physics that employ it support this assumption? Let’s consider: 1. The units of Planck’s constant…
