The relationship between the mind and the brain is a mystery that is central to how we understand our very existence
as sentient beings. Some say the mind is strictly a function of the brain ? consciousness is the product of firing
neurons. But some strive to scientifically understand the existence of a mind independent of, or at least to some
degree separate from, the brain.
The peer-reviewed scientific journal NeuroQuantology brings together neuroscience and quantum physics? an
interface that some scientists have used to explore this fundamental relationship between mind and brain.
An article published in the September 2017 edition of NeuroQuantology reviews and expands upon the current
theories of consciousness that arise from this meeting of neuroscience and quantum physics.
Dr. Dirk K.F. Meijer, a professor at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, hypothesizes that consciousness
resides in a field surrounding the brain. This field is in another dimension. It shares information with the brain through
quantum entanglement, among other methods. And it has certain similarities with a black hole.
This field may be able to pick up information from the Earth?s magnetic field, dark energy, and other sources. It then
?transmits wave information into the brain tissue, that is instrumental in high-speed conscious and subconscious
information processing,? Dirk wrote.
In other words, the ?mind? is a field that exists around the brain; it picks up information from outside the brain and
communicates it to the brain in an extremely fast process.
He described this field alternately as ?a holographic structured field,? a ?receptive mental workspace,? a
?meta-cognitive domain,? and the ?global memory space of the individual.?
