Electromagnetic Theories of consciousness

From Wikipedia:

The electromagnetic field theory of consciousness is a theory that says the electromagnetic field generated by the brain (measurable by electrocorticography) is the actual carrier of conscious experience.

The article goes into the physics, which, as presented make sense to me.

Several thoughts came into my mind. One of them is that maybe this is why a full moon affects people and they go crazy. It’s when the earth is the closest, and the greatest magnetic pull. It’s also the reason why physical health affects personality. If the blood is low sugar or anemic, the magnetc feild is not going to be the same.

Another thought – sometimes that’s why you can actually feel another’s personality or be affected by it in some way.

Very, very interesting.

Send blue tooth signal to electronic LEDs on costume and that signal activates them to light up? That way any bluetooth headphone could be used and we just need a bluetooth receiver.

Apparently, maybe it’s for “art”, a professor has implanted a camera in his skull. WTF??

The thumbnail-size camera implanted in his head will automatically snap one photograph per minute for an entire year, as The Wall Street Journal reported last week. Bilal, an assistant professor in the photography and imaging department of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, intends to activate the camera on Dec. 15.

Bizarre.
