Differential Spontaneous Photon Emissions from Cerebral Hemispheres of Fixed Human Brains: Asymmetric Coupling to Geomagnetic Activity and Potentials for Examining Post-Mortem Intrinsic Photon Information

The emissions of biophotons have been considered a ubiquitous property of living systems and their components. We measured the “spontaneous” photon emissions from fixed whole and sectioned human brains within hyper-dark settings. Significant differences in photon counts were measured from different spatial planes. The flux densities were in the order of 2 × 10-12 W per m2. The right hemispheres but not the left hemispheres displayed more photon emissions whose spectral power density profiles exhibited a conspicuous amplitude peak between 7.9 and 8 Hz. Brains measured in the hyperdark (~10-12 W·m2) after removal from the typical lighting of the laboratory emitted more photons than those that had been maintained in the hyperdark for one week. The significant correlation between the numbers of photons emitted from the left hemisphere (but not the right) and global geomagnetic activity also exhibited energy equivalence between the photon flux densities and the geomagnetic shift within the cerebral volumes. These results indicate that what has been assumed to be fixed unresponsive human brain tissue still emits small numbers of photons that may be residuals from ambient light and can potentially interact with global geomagnetic activity. The medical implications for post-mortem intrinsic photonic information based upon the anisotropic microstructures within the hemispheres of the human cerebrum are discussed.

Spatial-Temporal Quantitative Global Energy Differences between the Living and Dead Human Brain

The dynamic differences between a living human brain and a clinically dead (fixed) human brain were measured over international Quantitative Electroencephalographic (QEEG) sites for 1 Hz increments between 1 Hz and 50 Hz. Although the expected greater power (μV2•Hz–1) for the living brain was apparent, the difference was particularly obvious for theta and low beta bands. The integrated square root values over the entire band indicated the difference in intrinsic charge-based energy between the living (higher) and dead brain was ~2•10–23 J. This quantity is remarkably proximal to the Cosmic Background Microwave value and would be consistent with the Hameroff-Penrose definition of consciousness that suggests a permeating presence derived from discrete physical events. A power value obtained by multiplying this increment of energy by the frequency of the universal hydrogen line resulted in ~10–12 W•m–2 when applied to the surface area of the human cerebrum. This value is the median flux density that has been measured from human brains during cognition and defines the ultra-weak photon emissions displayed by cells, tissue, and organisms. These results suggest that modern technology may now be sufficiently precise to discern the critical parameters that differentiate the living brain from the fixed “dead” brain. This information might be useful for future designs of virtual consciousness and simulations within cerebral space.

Identifying Factors Which Contribute to the Magnitude of Excess Correlations between Magnetic Field-Paired Volumes of Water

Excess correlations, one of the quantitative demonstrations of “entanglement”, have been experimentally demonstrated as spontaneous shifts in photon properties and molecular interactions. The magnitudes of the excess correlations have been enhanced experimentally for photon emissions and proton densities in aqueous solutions when the loci containing these physical chemical reactions shared circular magnetic fields whose angular velocities were always changing. In the present experiment, quantities of spring water each placed in one of two loci (local or non-local) separated by 100 or 10,000 m were exposed simultaneously to toroidal magnetic fields within a paradigm that has been shown to produce conspicuous excess correlations in shifts of photon emissions, pH in spring water, and human brain activity as inferred by electroencephalography. The non-local area that was not injected with proton donors displayed a reliable shift in pH when the local area was serially injected with small aliquots of protons but only during the presentations of the field parameters known to produce “entanglement”. The effect was most obvious when the global geomagnetic activity was less than Kp < 3. The probability is high that convergent similarities in the magnitudes of the local geomagnetic intensities of the two loci enhance the strength of the excess correlations. These results suggest that a minimal energy and inexpensive system, not involving classical electromagnetic transmission through a medium, but influenced by the global geomagnetic field activity, could be employed to generalize and superpose information between two non-local spaces.

Non-Local pH Shifts and Shared Changing Angular Velocity Magnetic Fields: Discrete Energies and the Importance of Point Durations

Macroscopic productions of “non-locality” or “excess correlations” of dynamic changes within media between two spaces could be utilized as alternative communication systems. Previous experiments have shown that injections of a weak acid within one of two volumes of spring water sharing the same patterned circular magnetic fields with changing angular accelerations separated by non-traditional (5 m) distances were associated with opposite (basic) shifts in pH within the non-injected, non-local volume. In the present experiments, employing a different technology, pairs of beakers separated by 1 m containing either 25 cc, 50 cc, or 100 cc of spring water were placed within toroids generating weak (30, 300 nT) changing acceleration magnetic fields with 1 ms, 2 ms, or 3 ms point durations or a field whose point durations changed. When a proton source (weak acid) was injected into one beaker (local) pH shifts in the other (non-local) beaker exhibit increased acidity for the 3 ms point duration but increased alkalinity for the 1 ms duration. Neither intermittent point durations nor variable point durations for the same volumes of water placed between the two magnetic field-coupled beakers exhibited significant changes from baseline. Contingent upon the point duration of the applied field, the pH shift was consistent with a fixed quantity of decreased free protons (increased pH) or increased protons (decreased pH) in the non-local beakers. The opposite directions of the pH shifts at 1 ms and 3 ms that correspond to quantitative cosmological solutions for electrons and protons suggest these results may reflect a fundamental physical process.

Evaluating the Signal Processing Capacities of Post-Mortem Cerebral Cortical Tissue by Artificial Phototransduction of Dynamic Visual Stimuli

The signal processing function of human cerebral cortical tissues is determined by the regional cytoarchitectures distributed throughout the brain. Based upon this assumption, we pursued the hypothesis that residual microstructure within the primary and associative visual cortices of a fixed, post-mortem whole human brain would process electrical signals differentially. To this end, we designed and engineered a very simple brain-photocell interface. Photostimuli, presented as either periodic flashes or as dynamic visual images, were transduced by photocells attached to the optic nerve of a post-mortem human brain specimen. The novel approach revealed that microvolt fluctuations within the primary and associative visual cortices could be discriminated. Simple light-dark discrimination was noted for the primary visual area (BA17) whereas within the right occipito-parietal cortices of the dorsal visual stream (BA19, BA7), spectral power of microvolt fluctuations could discriminate moving visual stimuli from those which were non-moving. Discriminant analysis classified movement represented within the right parietal lobe with 80% success. Together, the results suggest that artificially generated electrical signals are processed differentially by alternative cortical regions in the post-mortem brain.

Local Electromagnetic Fields Exhibit Temporally Non-Linear, East-West Oriented 1 - 5 nT Diminishments within a Toroid: Empirical Measurement and Quantitative Solutions Indicating a Potential Mechanism for Excess Correlation

States of excess correlation have previously been achieved at macroscopic levels by simultaneously exposing two non-local spaces to weak electromagnetic field patterns, generated by toroids, presented in a sequence such that the angular velocity of the field is modulated by changes in frequency over time. Here we systematically investigated effects upon the local space at the center of a single toroid generating the excess correlation sequence. The results indicated that a 1 - 5 nT diminishment in field intensity on the Y- or east-west axis was characteristic of the excess correlation sequence which was not indicated for control conditions. Statistically significant shifts in field intensity approximately 40 to 60 s before the onset of the first field associated with the excess correlation sequence indicated a temporally non-linear effect which converged upon the ratio of g and the rotational velocity of the Earth for the local space where Coriolis-like forces were inferred. Intensity shifts associated with the excess correlation sequence but not controls were quantitatively convergent upon parameters of the hydrogen line (1.42 GHz). Implications for these findings were discussed in relation to Mach’s principle and, in particular, to the electron as a physical unit which was found to relate classical and quantum systems.

Cerebral Networks of Interfacial Water: Analogues of the Neural Correlates of Consciousness in a Synthetic Three-Shell Realistic Head Model

The physical properties of water, particularly the nature of interfacial water and pH shifts associated with dynamics of the hydronium ion near any surface, may be a primary source of the complex electromagnetic patterns frequently correlated with consciousness. Effectively all of the major correlates of consciousness, including the 40 Hz and 8 Hz coupling between the cerebral cortices and hippocampal formation, can be accommodated by the properties of water within a specific-shaped volume exposed to a magnetic field. In the present study, quantitative electroencephalographic activity was measured from an experimental simulation of the human head constructed using conductive dough whose pH could be changed systematically. Spectral analyses of electrical potentials generated over the regions equivalent to the left and right temporal lobes in humans exhibited patterns characteristic of Schumann Resonance. This fundamental and its harmonics are generated within the earth-ionospheric cavity with intensities similar to the volumetric intracerebral magnetic (~2 pT) and electric field (~6 × 10-1 V·m-1) strengths. The power densities for specific pH values were moderately correlated with those obtained from normal human brains for the fundamental (first) and second harmonic for the level simulating the cerebral cortices. Calculations indicated that the effective pH would be similar to that encountered within a single layer of protons near the plasma membrane surface. These results reiterate recent measurements in a large population of human brains showing the superimposition of Schumann power densities in QEEG data and indicate that intrinsic features of proton densities within cerebral water may be a fundamental basis to consciousness that can be simulated experimentally.

Light and Entanglement Velocities for the Electron and the Proton in Minkowskian Space Require Surface Areas that Approximate the Human Cerebrum: Implications for Excess Correlations

The distinctions between locality and non-locality as well as causality and excess correlation may be related to coupling between increments of space-time or to the total space-time within the universe as a unit. The most likely candidates for the latter are the proton and the electron when related by Minkowski’s space-time. When two velocities: light in a vacuum for locality and the “entanglement” velocity based upon parameters that define the universe for non-locality, are considered the two times required to produce identities for the -v2t2 components are frequencies whose energies approximate the neutral hydrogen line (primarily associated with shifts in electron spin direction) and the mass equivalence of a proton. The values for the additional three spatial dimensions required to produce a solution whose square root is not imaginary and greater than zero are within the domains of the surface areas of the human cerebrum. Detailed calculations converge to show that the proportions of energy that represent the electron’s Compton energy and the proton’s mass equivalent may be central to the condition of excess correlation within the cerebral volume. Proton channels within the neuronal cell plasma membranes whose pH-dependent specific currents produce the required magnetic field strengths could be the physical substrates by which excess correlations between brain activities of human subjects separated by non-local distances might occur. If protons are considered as the basic Eddington (number) units of the universe then Mach’s principle that any component of the universe is determined by all of its components may be testable empirically.
