Consciousness as a Function of Brain Waves

and Physical Constant Conscire

Tapan Das
ABSTRACT
This article proposes that a physical constant Conscire C - derived from the Latin con (with) and scire (to know) -
working on the brain waves creates consciousness in us. This is similar to the other physical constants -
Gravitational constant G creating gravitational force between two masses, Boltzmann constant K converting
absolute temperature to kinetic energy, Planck constant h converting light frequency ν to energy hν, etc.
Consciousness does not exist if there are no brain waves. The Conscire C multiplied by the brain wave frequencies
creates the brain energy and consciousness energy. As the brain wave frequency increases, consciousness energy
increases. The unit of Conscire C has been given. But the actual value of Conscire C could not be given since the
values of brain wave energies at different brain wave frequencies have been not been measured yet.

Introduction
Currently, there are two scientific views of
consciousness - monistic and dualistic. Monistic
view is that brain does all the functions, as such
there is nothing called consciousness. Dualistic
view is that brain and consciousness are two
separate things. Monistic view considers brain as
a supercomputer which can do all the necessary
functions.
Questions about the nature and origin of
conscious awareness have likely been asked for as
long as there have been humans. Three recent
dominant theories of consciousness are –
cognitive theories, neural theories and quantum
theories. But, still lots of questions still remain
unanswered. If consciousness is related to brain
waves, what is the relation? Where does
consciousness stay? Author has taken a different
view in this respect. Consciousness is created by a
physical constant named Conscire C working on

the brain waves like gravitational constant
working on masses, Boltzmann constant working
on temperature, Planck constant working on light
waves, etc.
Neural Correlates of Consciousness
Neural Correlates of Consciousness (NCC) is
offered by Crick (Crick, et al, 1990). The basic idea
is that mental states become conscious when large
numbers of neurons all fire in synchrony with one
another (oscillations within the 35-75 hertz range
or 35-75 cycles per second). Currently, one
method used is simply to study some aspect of
neural functioning with sophisticated detecting
equipment (such as MRIs and PET scans) and then
correlate it with first-person reports of conscious
experience. Another method is to study the
difference in brain activity between those under
anesthesia and those not under any such
influence.
