>>13949568I went for a long drive and the implications of these videos began to drift into my mind, I started to think about the circuitry of brains.
All those neurons with flowing charges between them and the electrical potentials through them, Poynting vector still applies there right?
So around the neurons is an excitation of a field that melds with all the other fields in the neural network to make one complex wave function.
Like when a bunch of magnets all stick together, there are still the individual N-S poles but the fields all join together.
I thought that was neat as in the context of a brain, from all the individual brain cells it gives rise to one singular literal construct.
This means that the brain has even more potential 'connections' then the neuron connections within it and it would be possible to create a connection faster then established neural connections.
If one part of the field is altered due to a stimulus it could affect the field in a way that a distant region of the field changes and induces a synapse to fire.
Situations like this could be what guides neuron connections to form and break, hard wiring learned knowledge.
The physical brain acts more like a solid state storage of the surrounding fluctuating field and acts as a conduit between that field and the rest of the body.
My concern about this is that I once thought that a brain, if accurately scanned, could be recreated in a simulated environment.
If this hypothesis is true then such a brain may work from a calculation point of view, but without a literal structured energy flux within it, it may be hollow and soleless...
I think Poynting was onto something and it goes a lot deeper then telephone cables and charging our smartphones.
