“…Phase modulation of these electromagnetic fields could facilitate the transmission of information other than that contained within the ''sound patterns.'' Experiments by Saroka and Persinger (2011) showed that the ''conscious'' choice of target words from a list of words by normal volunteers could be influenced when pronounced words were presented as only magnetic patterns in the order of 10 -6 T (10 mG) through the temporal lobes. These intensities are similar to those experienced if the face was placed very near a computer terminal.…”

Infrasound displays a special capacity to affect human health and adaptation because its frequencies and amplitudes converge with those generated by the human body. Muscle sounds and whole-body vibrations are predominately within the 5-to 40-Hz range. The typical amplitudes of the oscillations are within 1-50 lm, which is equivalent to the pressures of about 1 Pa and energies in the order of 10 -11 W m -2 . Infrasound sources from the natural environment originate from winds, microbaroms, geomagnetic activity, and microseisms and can propagate for millions of meters. Cultural sources originate from air moving through duct systems within buildings, large machinery, and more recently, wind turbines. There are also unknown sources of infrasound. It is important to differentiate the effects of infrasound from the awareness or experience of its presence. Moderate strength correlations occur between the incidences of infrasound and reports of nausea, malaise, fatigue, aversion to the area, non-specific pain, and sleep disturbances when pressure levels exceed about 50 db for protracted periods. Experimental studies have verified these effects. Their validity is supported by convergent quantitative biophysical solutions. Because cells interact through the exchange of minute quanta of energy that corresponds with remarkably low levels of sound pressure produced by natural phenomena and wind turbines upon the body and its cavities, traditional standards for safety and quality of living might not be optimal.

“…The outer regions (cortices) of the temporal lobes are only about 2 cm away from the spaces in which the earbud devices are placed. We have measured magnetic field intensities in the range of 0.1 to 1 microTesla from these electronic devices (Saroka & Persinger, 2011). The magnetic energy within the volume of the cerebral cortices would be sufficient to affect, potentially at least, millions of neurons.…”

Convergent Quantification and Physical Support for Teilhard de Chardin’s Philosophy Concerning the Human Species and Evolutionary Consciousness

Teilhard de Chardin's integration of geobiological phenomena with philosophical and spiritual perspectives resulted in ideas, such as potentially quantifiable "spiritual energy", the emergence of a "sphere of human thinking" (noosphere) as the next evolutionary stage of the biosphere, and the ultimate expansion of consciousness into the galaxy. Transformations of his concepts into contemporary values that effectively define cosmology, quantum biology, and human cerebral parameters could support his interpretations. Scaled quantification of basic universal energies match the magnitudes measured within the human cerebrum during thinking. Superposition of the magnetic fields associated with thinking upon the intergalactic strength fields for induced changes in magnetic moments of elementary electrons solves for durations that approach the age of the universe or "immortality". The immersion of the human species within both the earth's magnetic field and the Schumann Resonances creates the conditions for producing the "noosphere" and for its potential expansion into space. The rapid development of new computer-based technologies that expose the human population to homogeneous energetic patterns and produce cognitive states consistent with "unifying" the noosphere could be sufficient to produce physical changes which would support Teilhard de Chardin's hypotheses.

“…According to McElhaney et al [2] the thickness of the average human skull is ~7 mm while the density is ~1.4 × 10 3 kg•m −3 . We [3][4][5] have shown that these intensities of magnetic fields generated through the human brain between pairs of small externally located solenoids affect quantitative electroencephalographic activity that cannot be attributed to artifact and evoke cumulative changes in power within specific frequency bands that emerge after about 15 minutes of continuous exposure. The patterns of the applied fields are derived from theoretical or empirical imitations of whole-brain or localized activity by computerized software generated through custom-constructed digital-to-analogue converters.…”

To answer the queries concerning penetrability of ~1 µT, physiologically patterned, time-varying magnetic fields through the cranium, the proportions of attenuation through thicknesses and densities of ~3 times that of the human skull were measured directly. There was no reduction in the intensity of the magnetic field when two 2 cm thick dried pine boards (4.3 × 10 3 kg•m −3) were placed between the pairs of solenoids separated by the approximate width of the skull. Although volumes of water containing intracellular concentrations of ions did not attenuate the field intensity, placement of 290 cm 2 of 2 mm sheets of duct metal reduced the amplitude by 25%. Spectra comparisons showed a clear congruence in profiles between direct measurement of the applied field and the original computer-generated pattern. These results indicate there is little validity to claims that weak, time-varying magnetic fields applied in this manner are eliminated or significantly attenuated by the human skull.
