Abstract: Biomagnetite, as clusters of magnetic nanocrystals, has been documented in human brains. It plays a significant role in the nervous system. Magnetite crystal structures, estimated from 5 million crystals per gram to 20 times that in the meninges, greater than 100 million crystals per gram for pia and dura.have been found in all structures of the human brain. It tends to form clusters.
Magnetic property data indicate the crystals are in clumps of between 50 and 100 particles Also found in cerebrospinal fluid, they connect through the meninges with the extracellular matrix and vagus nerve. Magnetite in the ethmoid bone at the root of the nose functions as tiny compass needles, helping us orient to the earth's magnetic field. Magnetite may also be implicated in steering chemical reactions in the body and responses to external fields.
Applying magnetic fields to certain parts of the brain shows how it can modulate functions, perception, and subjective awareness. Consciousness may be an electromagnetic phenomena. Hallucinations are phenomenologically indistinguishable from "normal perception" because even the later is never the result of direct realism. Thus, the content of consciousness, including dreams, is inherently representative and hallucinatory with unrealistic components. Perceptual output can vary widely from sensory input. Our senses are actually filters of electromagnetic input and information processing. Somatic input is amplified by simultaneous imaginal input, fantasy overlays and mythic narratives interpreting what is happening.

The human brain acts like an electrical circuit called a phase-locked loop. Low frequency electric and magnetic fields induce weak electric currents in humans and animals. Biological Systems detect and respond to external ULF/ELF signals using their built-in receiving and decoding systems (cell-to-cell communication).
Brains and cells use oscillating ion currents for the control of release of neurotransmitters and in the cell to cell communication systems,(EEG). They use frequency encoders and decoders and phase-locked loop circuits to tune into external signals of a slightly different frequency. The magnetic oscillations may create propagating spin waves and associative memory arrays. Multiple fluctuating dipole moments in multiple phase locked loops constitutes a self-organizing chaotic field. Brain tubulin structure and assembly are affected by magnetite nanoparticles in viscous fluid behaving as liquid crystals under interaction of dipoles. Quantum dipole oscillations may couple to zero-point fluctuations of the quantum vacuum.
Several theorists have proposed that consciousness can be understood as an electromagnetic phenomenon. Their theories differ in how they relate consciousness to electromagnetism.Some have even suggested a biomagnetite model of magnetoreception as a storage mechanism for bioholograms. http://prezi.com/wtunngozmkqy/copy-of-the-holographic-brain/
"It seems that the formation of biomagnetite crystals is a universal phenomenon and not an exception in living cells. Many experimental facts show that features of organic and inorganic processes could be indistinguishable at nanoscale levels. Living cells are quantum “devices” rather than simple electronic devices utilizing only the charge of conduction electrons. In our opinion, due to their unusual biophysical properties, special biomagnetites must have a biological function in living cells in general and in the brain in particular," according to Bokkon and Salari (2010)
