The cellular electromagnetic field seems to be a source of information because it represents the biological activity of the cell.

Synchronous Firing and its influence on the brain's 

electromagnetic field

"studies with subdural and depth microelectrodes indicate that the brain’s em field has detailed spatial structure in the millimetre and sub-millimetre domain and detailed temporal structure in the sub-second domain, over a range of frequencies"

"a striking feature of EEG is the differences in electrical activity from electrode to electrode, even when less than 1 mm apart (Speckmann and Elger, 1998); indicating that the brain generates a highly structured and dynamic extracellular electric field."

"Another source of information on changes within the brain’s em field is obtained from measurements of evoked potentials (event-related potentials). Sensory evoked potentials are detected when a sensory stimulation reaches the brain and evokes a characteristic sequence of waves in the EEG. Motor evoked potentials are similarly recorded during induced motor activity."

"existence of evoked potentials demonstrates that both sensory stimuli and motor activity are associated with temporally organised perturbations to the brain’s em field."

"The human (and animal) brain therefore contains a highly structured (in time and space) endogenous extracellular em field, with a magnitude of up to several tens of volts per metre."

"endogenous em fields of tens of volts per metre are capable of generating fields of several tens of thousands of volts per metre, translating to up to several millivolts, across the 5 nm neuronal cell membrane. The form and amplitude of these fields will be continually sculpted in response to changes in brain activity. "

"Therefore, since TMS induced modulations of the brain’s em field affect brain function and behaviour, it follows that the brain’s endogenous field must similarly influence neuronal computation."

" there is very solid in vitro evidence for very weak em fields modulating neuronal function"

"very weak em field fluctuations are capable of modulating neurone-firing patterns. These exogenous fields are weaker than the perturbations in the brain’s endogenous em field that are induced during normal neuronal activity. The conclusion is inescapable: the brain’s endogenous em field must influence neuronal information processing in the brain."

"studies indicate that synchronous firing in different regions of the 21 human cortex correlates with awareness and attention. The existence of evoked potentials provides additional evidence for synchronous firing being involved in perception of stimuli and purposeful action, since although they are weak, they are much stronger than signals that would be generated from the firing of single neurones and must be due to the synchronised firing of many neurones."

"sensory information is encoded within the spatial pattern of EEG activity and thereby the shape of the underlying em field."

"modulations of the em field correlate with perception and meaning"

"these findings demonstrate that awareness and attention in man and animals, and thereby consciousness (at least in man), is associated with modulations to the brain’s em field generated by synchronisation of neuronal firing patterns."

"there is abundant evidence that the loss of awareness of repeated stimuli during habituation is associated with a reduction in amplitude of either EEG or MEG evoked potential signals"

"Loss of awareness therefore correlates with reduced disturbance to the brain’s em field"

"there is evidence that anaesthetics that decrease awareness of stimuli disrupt synchronous firing and thereby reduce the influence of the em field on neurone firing"
