EMI-EDU: reframing learning and education through energy, mass and information

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience August 7, 2026 Tommaso Firaux, Paola Damiani, Marco Cavaglià

Building on the EMI framework that conceptualises consciousness, cognition, and behaviour as emergent phenomena arising from dynamic interactions among energy, mass, and information, this article extends the model into the educational domain by reframing learning as a resonance-based process within complex adaptive systems. While the initial formulation of EMI provided a scale-free biophysical...

A Unified Holographic Framework for neural computation and consciousness: From lipid membranes to the Schumann resonance.

Biosystems 2026 Marco Cavaglià, Jack A Tuszynski

Understanding conscious experience requires looking beyond neuronal circuits alone. We propose that lipid membranes, vicinal water, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) form a coherent substrate capable of holographic encoding and coupling to endogenous/exogenous electromagnetic fields (EMF). In what follows: (i) we formulate four postulates (membrane as holographic plate; water as coherence medium;...

EMI model: A scale free biophysical framework for human consciousness, cognition and behaviour.

Biosystems January 2026 Tommaso Firaux, Jack A Tuszynski, Marco Cavaglià

Understanding consciousness, cognition, and behaviour requires an integrated framework capable of bridging neurobiology, physics, and information theory. In this paper, we propose the Energy-Mass-Information (EMI) framework as a novel paradigm to conceptualize mental phenomena as emergent properties of dynamic, field-based interactions. Rooted in, and direct expression of the Unified...

Toward a holographic brain paradigm: a lipid-centric model of brain functioning.

Frontiers in Neuroscience 2023 Marco Cavaglià, Marco A Deriu, Jack A Tuszynski

Due to the stimulation of neuronal membrane dipoles by action potentials, under suitable conditions coherent dipole oscillations can be formed. We argue that these dipole oscillations satisfy the weak Bose-Einstein condensate criteria of the Froehlich model of biological coherence. They can subsequently generate electromagnetic fields (EMFs) propagating in the inter-neuronal space. When...

Alteration of Consciousness by Anaesthetics: A Multiscale Modulation from the Molecular to the Systems Level

Journal of Consciousness Studies June 1, 2022 Marco Cavaglià, E. A. Zizzi, S. Dombrowski et al.

General anaesthesia has been used in medical practice since the mid-nineteenth century, but its pharmacological mechanism of action is still not entirely clear. In a top-down approach, investigations probe smaller and smaller scales to shed light on how anaesthetics disrupt or alter neural activity, ultimately resulting in loss of consciousness. In the past few decades, advances in neuroscience...
