I could say a lot more about this, but this would slip into what people would consider as woo.

So without treading there, I am just going to say, I think this field-effect of neurons will lead to discoveries about field-effect of all cells, not just neurons; that consciousness is not exclusive to neurons; and how acupuncture (at a mechanical level) might work.




Electric potential across other cells and also single-cell organisms is well known and not new.

This is new though (and revolutionary): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XheAMrS8Q1c

Regarding consciousness, I don't get why people who submit to consciousness being everywhere in the universe have problem with simply calling it the universe. It seems to make discussions much more productive.


There is quite a good deal of literature out there suggesting that acupuncture operates via electricity, FWIW.


Can you provide any references to said literature?

I don't recall specific literature, but that might provide some names or searches to make.


Do you have any sources to recommend if I wanted to learn more about this thought?



I completely agree with you
