Although consciousness is one of the most difficult concepts to explain, there is substantial scientific evidence linking it to the brain’s electromagnetic (EM) field. This EM field generated by the brain is already well known to science and is widely used in many brain-imaging technologies, such as electroencephalography (EEG).
Dr. Johnjoe McFadden, a British biophysicist and the author of “Quantum Evolution”, which bridges biology and philosophy, has proposed an exceptionally bold theory about the nature of consciousness. If fully validated, this theory could fundamentally change our understanding of human identity and consciousness.
The Conscious Electromagnetic Information Field (CEMI) Theory
Dr. McFadden states that there is strong evidence suggesting that neurons communicate not only through chemical and electrical impulses but also via a shared electromagnetic field. He refers to this process as field coupling.
According to the CEMI Field Theory:
-
The brain generates a weak yet extremely complex electromagnetic field
-
This field allows instant access to information across all brain cells
-
Complex thinking and image processing do not require millions of chemical signal transmissions
-
Consciousness emerges as a function of this electromagnetic field
In other words, consciousness is not solely a product of neurons themselves, but of the field they collectively generate.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and the CEMI Theory
One of the most compelling pieces of evidence supporting the CEMI theory comes from research on Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
During TMS:
-
An electric current is passed through a coil placed on the scalp
-
This current generates a magnetic field that penetrates the brain
-
The magnetic field directly affects neural activity
Experimental studies have shown that TMS can:
-
Alter reaction time
-
Cause visual and speech disturbances
-
Affect eye movements and emotional states
However, not all effects are negative.
TMS and the Treatment of Psychological Disorders
According to reports by reputable media outlets such as ABC News and Newsweek:
-
In 60% of patients treated with TMS for depression, positive effects lasted for several months
-
Potential benefits are also being investigated for schizophrenia, Parkinson’s disease, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
-
The U.S. Department of Defense (Pentagon) is studying the use of TMS to enhance soldiers’ cognitive and psychological abilities
These findings suggest that the body’s electromagnetic fields are real and physical, and that changes in these fields can influence both mental and physical capabilities.
Consciousness, Mind, and Cosmic Influences
TMS creates a localized electromagnetic field around the brain. This raises an important question:
What about electromagnetic influences on a cosmic scale?
Rhythmic magnetic waves generated by distant stars, pulsars, and the Sun may:
-
Exert long-term effects
-
Influence biological systems through resonance
Just as water can carve stone over time, cosmic electromagnetic influences may gradually affect human consciousness.
Eastern Medicine and Subtle Energy Fields
Eastern philosophy has long maintained that:
-
Humans are not composed solely of the physical body
-
Energy bodies, chakras, and meridians exist
-
Practices such as acupuncture, acupressure, and yoga
activate connections between the physical and subtle bodies
and enable access to deeper levels of consciousness
While Western science has often dismissed these ideas as pseudoscientific, it is worth remembering that electricity and magnetism were once viewed the same way.
Ancient Chinese Science and Modern Discoveries
The I Ching system in ancient Chinese philosophy:
-
Consists of 64 codes
-
Has been found to structurally correspond to the genetic code of DNA
This suggests that ancient civilizations possessed remarkably deep knowledge of the human body and its energy systems.
Health Topic: Milk Chocolate and Antioxidants
Modern research shows that:
-
Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants
-
Milk chocolate is generally less beneficial
However, scientists have managed to:
-
Enhance the nutritional value of milk chocolate
-
By using peanut skin extract and maltodextrin
In taste tests, the majority of volunteers did not detect any difference in flavor. This research contributes to:
-
Reducing food waste
-
Creating healthier food alternatives
Conclusion
The CEMI Field Theory suggests that:
-
Consciousness is not merely a chemical process
-
Electromagnetic fields are a fundamental component of human cognition
A bridge is forming between Eastern philosophy, modern neuroscience, and quantum biology—one that promises revolutionary developments in the fields of:
-
Medicine
-
Psychology
-
Consciousness research
