Abstract

This paper introduces a computational model that underlies an electromagnetic theory of inter-neuronal interactions in the human brain. This hypothesis behind this model aims to explain human perception, cognition, memory and consciousness and involves an interdisciplinary approach combining biophysics, holography, and neuroscience. The main assumption used is that the phospholipid head groups of neuronal membranes, when stimulated energetically by the electric fields of propagating action potentials, can generate a metastable coherent state giving rise to an electromagnetic field. This is consistent with the Froehlich theory of biological coherence. Additionally, the electromagnetic fields produced by neighboring neurons can create interference patterns that lead to the formation of holographic images. This mechanism can solve the binding problem of consciousness where external sensory inputs are transduced into conscious perceptions.
