Abstract
In this paper, the new Schrodinger equation for brain waves is proposed and solved for quantum well with infinite boundaries. The spectra of the alpha, beta theta delta and gamma photons are calculated and agreement of the calculated spectra and EEG human brain is rather good. The width of the quantum well - source of the brain waves - is of the order of 10-6 nm, i.e., is the order of the nucleus radius. The brain photons are emitted as quantum de-excitation of the quantum string, i.e., ωn = (En - E0)/ħ where ωn is the angular frequency of the brain photons with quantum number n and En are the n-excited state for n=1,2,3,4,5 respectively, and E0 is ground state of the quantum string.
