A physical model of neuronal membrane excitations as a mechanism of holographic image formation in the brain

This paper introduces a computational model that underlies an electromagnetic theory of inter-neuronal interactions in the human brain. The hypothesis underlying this model aims to explain human perception, cognition, memory, and consciousness through an interdisciplinary approach that combines biophysics, holography, and neuroscience. The primary assumption underlying our model is that the phospholipid head groups of neuronal membranes, when exposed to the electric fields generated by propagating action potentials, may enter a metastable coherent state capable of emitting electromagnetic oscillations—a phenomenon we refer to as a lipid-centric electromagnetic wave. This is consistent with the Fröhlich 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

Abstract

This paper introduces a computational model that underlies an electromagnetic theory of inter-neuronal interactions in the human brain. The hypothesis underlying this model aims to explain human perception, cognition, memory, and consciousness through an interdisciplinary approach that combines biophysics, holography, and neuroscience. The primary assumption underlying our model is that the phospholipid head groups of neuronal membranes, when exposed to the electric fields generated by propagating action potentials, may enter a metastable coherent state capable of emitting electromagnetic oscillations—a phenomenon we refer to as a lipid-centric electromagnetic wave. This is consistent with the Fröhlich 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
