Transduction of DNA information through water and electromagnetic waves
The experimental conditions by which electromagnetic signals (EMS) of low
frequency can be emitted by diluted aqueous solutions of some bacterial and
viral DNAs are described. That the recorded EMS and nanostructures induced in
water carry the DNA information (sequence) is shown by retrieval of that same
DNA by classical PCR amplification using the TAQ polymerase, including both
primers and nucleotides. Moreover, such a transduction process has also been
observed in living human cells exposed to EMS irradiation. These experiments
suggest that coherent long range molecular interaction must be at work in water
so to allow the observed features. The quantum field theory analysis of the
phenomenon is presented.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
The aesthetic experience as a characteristic feature of brain dynamics
The brain constructs within itself an understanding of its surround which constitutes its own world. This is described as its Double in the frame of the dissipative quantum model of brain, where the perception-action arc in the Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology of perception finds its formal description. In the dialog with the Double, the continuous attempt to reach the equilibrium shows that the real goal pursued by the brain activity is the aesthetical experience, the most harmonious “to-be-in-the-world” reached through reciprocal actions, the aesthetical dimension characterized by the “pleasure” of the perception. Aesthetical pleasure unavoidably implies disclosure, to manifest “signs”, artistic communication. An interpersonal, collective level of consciousness then arises, a larger stage where the actors are mutually dependent. The coherent structure of the brain background state manifests itself in the auto-similarity properties of fractal structures. These are observed to occur also in a large number of natural phenomena and systems. The conception of Nature divided in separated domains is replaced by the vision of Nature unified by laws of form implied by the underlying quantum dynamics of the coherent vacuum, an integrated ecological vision
Cortical phase transitions, non-equilibrium thermodynamics and the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation
The formation of amplitude modulated and phase modulated assemblies of
neurons is observed in the brain functional activity. The study of the
formation of such structures requires that the analysis has to be organized in
hierarchical levels, microscopic, mesoscopic, macroscopic, each with its
characteristic space-time scales and the various forms of energy, electric,
chemical, thermal produced and used by the brain. In this paper, we discuss the
microscopic dynamics underlying the mesoscopic and the macroscopic levels and
focus our attention on the thermodynamics of the non-equilibrium phase
transitions. We obtain the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation for the
non-stationary regime and consider the formation of topologically non-trivial
structures such as the vortex solution. The power laws observed in functional
activities of the brain is also discussed and related to coherent states
characterizing the many-body dissipative model of brain.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, research pape
