Lagged Coherence of Photon Emissions and Spectral Power Densities between the Cerebral Hemispheres of Human Subjects during Rest Conditions: Phase Shift and Quantum Possibilities

Abstract

Photon counts about 15 cm from the left and right sides of the head while subjects sat quietly dur-ing baseline conditions within a hyper-dark chamber were measured by photomultiplier units. Lag/lead analyses for photon emissions between the two hemispheres indicated a weak but statis-tically significant correlation between the amplitude fluctuations that were separated by about 800 to 900 ms. Analyses of the spectral power densities of photon amplitude variations from the left and right hemispheres revealed peak values between 2 and 3 Hz which were equivalent to a difference of about 900 ms. The radiant flux densities were estimated to be in the order of 10 −12 W • m −2 and to include the equivalence of about 10 7 neurons. Our calculations, which accounted for the small magnitude of the strength of the interhemispheric coefficients, suggest that the cohe-rence could be strongly correlated with processes associated with the unmyelinated axons with diameters between 400 to 800 nm, the visible wavelengths, within the corpus callosum. When the ratio of the phase shift was applied to the Aharanov-Bohm equation, the time required for a pho-ton-related electron to be within a cerebral magnetic field was the same duration as a single orbit of an electron and a photon's traversal latency across a neuronal plasma membrane. We suggest that the peak photon decoherence between the two cerebral hemispheres may reveal a neuron-al-quanta substrate to the conditions associated with consciousness.
