Level Of Consciousness

This paper proposes a theoretical approach to explain the characteristic empirical interdependence between the states of arousal (representing the level of consciousness) and EEG activity. Applying a quantum transition probability model to the brain’s electric field-dipole interaction, an analytical formula is derived that corresponds to the empirical arousal-frequency correlation, both in form (sigmoid) and the frequency interval (from 0 to 100 Hz). In addition, we consider the possible theoretical and practical implications. Thus, a general formula for consciousness level is deduced, with equilibrium frequency as the characteristic parameter. We also briefly discuss the quantum-classical coupling and nested relationship between the consciousness level and content as well as the clinical relevance.
