Gravitational brainwaves, quantum fluctuations and stochastic quantization
نویسنده
چکیده
It is known that the biological activity of the brain involves radiation of electric waves. These waves result from ionic currents and charges traveling among the brain’s neurons. But it is obvious that these ions and charges are carried by their relevant masses which should give rise, according to the gravitational theory, to extremely weak gravitational waves. We use in the following the stochastic quantization (SQ) theory to calculate the probability to find a large ensemble of brains radiating similar gravitational waves. We also use this SQ theory to derive the equilibrium state related to the known Lamb shift.

Stochastic quantization of the linearized gravitational field∗
Quantum systems which are described by a Schrödinger equation allow a stochastic interpretation. The Fenyes-Nelson model [1]–[3] and its generalization [4]–[6] provide such a stochastic description of quantum mechanics. Several field theories have been considered in this context [7]–[11], and the results have so far been of some interest. In the present paper, the generalized Fenyes-Nelson mode...
متن کاملQuantization of Gravitational Waves and the Squeezing
The question whether gravitational waves are quantised or not can in principle be answered by the help of correlation measurements. If the gravitational waves are quantised and they are generated by the change of the background metrics then they can be in squeezed state. In a sqeezed state there is a correlation between the phase of the wave and the quantum fluctuations. It is recommended to an...
متن کاملCosmological perturbations from stochastic gravity
In inflationary cosmological models driven by an inflaton field the origin of the primordial inhomogeneities which are responsible for large-scale structure formation are the quantum fluctuations of the inflaton field. These are usually calculated using the standard theory of cosmological perturbations, where both the gravitational and the inflaton fields are linearly perturbed and quantized. T...

متن کاملQuantum-Gravitational Diffusion and Stochastic Fluctuations in the Velocity of Light
We argue that quantum-gravitational fluctuations in the space-time background give the vacuum non-trivial optical properties that include diffusion and consequent uncertainties in the arrival times of photons, causing stochastic fluctuations in the velocity of light in vacuo. Our proposal is motivated within a Liouville string formulation of quantum gravity that also suggests a frequency-depend...
