The brain is linked to the electromagnetic field through theories like the Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory, which posits that the brain generates an endogenous electromagnetic field that reflects information processed by neural networks [1], [2], and [3]. Research explores how this field interacts with neural computation [4] and potentially influences neurons through quantum or magnetic mechanisms [5], [6].

claimThe CEMI Field Theory can be explored by modeling interactions between the brain's electromagnetic field and quantum fields, as well as by modeling how magnetic fields might correlate nerve cells separated by specific distances.
claimThe Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory asserts that synchronized neural firing is essential for transferring information generated by neural computation into the brain’s electromagnetic field, and without this synchronization, the resulting information would contribute only to unconscious awareness.
claimSome researchers suggest that the force field associated with consciousness represents the brain’s endogenous electromagnetic (EM) field, which reframes the mind-body problem as a matter-field dualism.
claimAccording to the Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory, information processed in local neural networks can be transferred to the brain’s electromagnetic field, creating disturbances that reflect that information.
referenceQuantum models of consciousness can be categorized into three groups based on the level at which quantum mechanics operates in the brain: models suggesting consciousness arises from electron delocalization within neuronal microtubules, models proposing consciousness emerges from the electromagnetic field surrounding the neural network, and models positing consciousness originates from interactions between individual neurons governed by neurotransmitter molecules.
claimWhile the Conscious Electromagnetic Information (CEMI) Field Theory does not require quantum effects, it proposes that the electromagnetic field could control neurons through single-photon interactions, which may represent the only way quantum effects are permitted to manifest within the brain.
