Mind-Brain Consciousness Field

[Magical Realist]

The idea of a wave propagating quantum field that carries and transmits information is certainly familiar. Even as we speak the Internet itself is traveling at light speed as waves of electromagnetic energy that get decoded into a glowing 2D presentation upon a screen. And light itself is rich in information storage and transmission, basically constituting a 3D holographic presentation of our immediate environment. Is it that far-fetched that the mind itself might be a brain-coupled field of such capabilities and information storage?

"Between quantum physics and neuroscience, a theory emerges of a mental field we each have, existing in another dimension and behaving in some ways like a black hole.

The relationship between the mind and the brain is a mystery that is central to how we understand our very existence as sentient beings. Some say the mind is strictly a function of the brain — consciousness is the product of firing neurons. But some strive to scientifically understand the existence of a mind independent of, or at least to some degree separate from, the brain.

The peer-reviewed scientific journal NeuroQuantology brings together neuroscience and quantum physics — an interface that some scientists have used to explore this fundamental relationship between mind and brain.

Dr. Dirk K.F. Meijer, a professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, hypothesizes that consciousness resides in a field surrounding the brain. This field is in another dimension. It shares information with the brain through quantum entanglement, among other methods. And it has certain similarities with a black hole.

This field may be able to pick up information from the Earth’s magnetic field, dark energy, and other sources. It then “transmits wave information into the brain tissue, that … is instrumental in high-speed conscious and subconscious information processing,” Dirk wrote.

In other words, the “mind” is a field that exists around the brain; it picks up information from outside the brain and communicates it to the brain in an extremely fast process...."

There are the old theories that consciousness resided in an EM field generated by the brain. Electromagnetic theories of consciousness: "McFadden has proposed that the brain's electromagnetic field creates a representation of the information in the neurons."

Meijer hypothesizes that the mental field is in another dimension: “That we cannot directly perceive this information aspect is traditionally ascribed to a hidden fourth spatial dimension … which cannot be observed in our 3-D world, but can be mathematically derived.”

An electromagnetic field can at least be detected, whereas proposed fields that are completely novel and immune to influencing instruments will tend to remain metaphysical suggestions. Similar to the constantly unsettled debate about quantum wave function realism: "To avoid a mental hernia, physicists tell each other that the wave function is a useful calculation tool, but only has physical relevance in terms of statistics, rather than having some concrete existence. In other words, it's not really 'real'."

That in itself is the crux of the matter. Not even Physicists are immune to the fears connected to the unknown.
