From Conscious Experience to Memory Storage and Retrieval: The Role of Quantum Brain Dynamics and Boson Condensation of Evanescent Photons

Abstract

A quantum field theoretical formulation of an interaction between the radiation field and the electric dipole field of intracellular and extracellular water in perimembranous dendritic compartments is proposed. The intercellular spaces filled mostly with water are shown to be not just a filler but a proper substrate for dendritic processing composed of a boson condensation of evanescent photons. Macroscopic ordered dynamics of the electric dipoles of water in the perimembranous region immediately adjacent to dendritic membranes provides interactions with the radiation field to produce evanescent photons that ensure that the critical temperature of the boson condensation can be higher than the body temperature. Thus, superconducting phenomena can take place. Such a high-temperature boson condensate of evanescent photons can be understood as a physical substrate for distributed saltatory processing in dendritic arborizations. Memory storage can be understood in terms of processing involving the ionic coating of the dynamically ordered structure of water facilitated by the boson condensate of evanescent photons.

Indirect biological measures of consciousness from field studies of brains as dynamical systems

“…An experimental subject engaged with the environment in a task forms a dynamical system in the form of a circular process that incorporates both subject and object at all levels simultaneously from subatomic to social [Pribram, 1991;Jibu et al, 1996;Chapline, 1999]. The dynamics is analyzed by entering the cycle at either of two starting points: the reflex arc begins outside the brain, and the action-perception cycle begins inside the brain.…”

Possibility of High Performance Quantum Computation by Using Evanescent Photons in Living Systems

“…Georgiev pointed out that created evanescent photons have negative energy and are shown to be capable of realizing group velocity faster than light velocity in vacuum. It was also proposed by [3][4][5] that the conscious process in the brain is related with the macroscopic condensates of massive evanescent photons generated by the Higgs mechanism. They claimed that human consciousness can be understand as arising from those creation-annihilation dynamics of a finite number of evanescent photons in the brain.…”

Biological Memories and Agents as Quantum Collectives

“…Ricciardi and Umezawa proposed (Ricciardi and Umezawa, 1967) a mechanism of memory storage and retrieval in terms of virtual bosons associated with the physiological structures of the brain in which long term memory is related to the ground state and short-term memory to the metastable excited states. Jibu, Yasue and Pribram further developed these ideas and considered implications for consciousness (Jibu, Yasue, and Pribram, 1996).…”
