The contribution of coherence field theory to a model of consciousness: electric currents, EM fields, and EM radiation in the brain
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience January 24, 2023 Eric Bond
A new hypothesis proposes that consciousness arises from 'coherence fields'—synchronously resonating structures of light and atoms at the nanoscale, forming the fundamental unit of first-person percepts like colors, sounds, and thoughts. The theory builds on quantum biology and neuroscience, suggesting that electrical impulses in neurons are driven by quantum-scale coherence, and that local field potential oscillations in the brain's electric field may be modulated by these fields. Temperature variation in neural tissue is posited as a signature of coherence field modulation, not merely waste heat, with infrared photonic waves acting as an interstitial medium. The author outlines possible routes to modulate coherence fields via electric currents, electromagnetic fields, radiation, and entanglement, and suggests that if validated, this could resolve the mind/body problem.
