The Process of Thought, Neurological Completion, and the Electromagnetic Dynamics of the Mind/Brain Relationships
Danny Williams
Abstract
Neuropsychological research on the neural basis of behavior, emotion, and
memories generally posits that brain mechanisms will ultimately suffice to
explain all psychologically described phenomena, but as we know today this is
not true, and we must look more at the brain being a organ like the rest of the
body, and that IT mediates OUR mental control and actions from our self and
mind. This assumption that biology and classical physics forms the idea that
the brain is made up entirely of material and not of any other physical
workings, like quantum dynamics or coded and complex particles and fields,
and that all causal mechanisms relevant to neuroscience can therefore be
formulated solely in terms of properties of these elements. Mentalistic and/or
experiential content (e.g., "feeling," "knowing," and "effort" “belief systems”)
are not included as primary causal factors. This theoretical restriction is
motivated primarily by ideas about the natural world that have been known to
be fundamentally incorrect over a century. Contemporary basic physical theory
differs profoundly from its seventeenth to nineteenth century forbearers on
the important matter of how the consciousness of human mind enters into the
structure of empirical phenomena. Our new understanding of the mind,
humans, physics and the universe have given us new principles that contradict
the older idea that local mechanical processes alone can account for the
structure of all observed behavior, personality, and consciousness, and our
excess o memories and past information and data to learn new mental and
physical experiences. Quantum physical theories bring directly and irreducibly
into the overall causal structure certain psychologically described choices made
by human agents about how they will act, think, live, and learn to develop
there own individual personality. The key development in basic physical theory
is applicable to neuroscience, and it provides neuroscientists and psychologists
with an alternative conceptual framework for describing neural processes.
Indeed, due to certain structural features of ion channels critical to synaptic
function, quantum and electro magnetic field dynamic physical theory must in
principle be used when analyzing human brain/mind dynamics.
