Abstract

In this paper we argue that, in addition to electrical and chemical signals propagating in the neurons of the brain, signal propagation takes place in the form of biophoton production. This statement is supported by recent experimental confirmation of photon guiding properties of a single neuron. We have investigated the interaction of mitochondrial biophotons with microtubules from a quantum mechanical point of view. Our theoretical analysis indicates that the interaction of biophotons and microtubules causes transitions/fluctuations of microtubules between coherent and incoherent states. A significant relationship between the fluctuation function of microtubules and alpha-EEG diagrams is elaborated on in this paper. We argue that the role of biophotons in the brain merits special attention.

Main findings

This paper presents a theoretical analysis proposing that mitochondrial biophotons interact with microtubules and induce transitions or fluctuations between coherent and incoherent microtubule states. The authors also describe a significant relationship between the microtubule fluctuation function and alpha-EEG diagrams.

Outcomes measured

  • microtubule coherent/incoherent state transitions or fluctuations
  • relationship between microtubule fluctuation function and alpha-EEG diagrams
  • biophoton-microtubule interaction in neurons

Limitations

  • The paper is theoretical and argumentative rather than an experimental study.
  • No EMF exposure source or dosimetry is described in the abstract.
  • No population or sample size is reported.
  • Findings in the abstract are based on theoretical analysis and cited prior experimental support rather than direct experimental testing in this paper.
