Quanta Magazine hadde I februar 2021 artikkelen "Brain’s ‘Background Noise’ May Hold Clues to Persistent Mysteries".
Den indikerer at hjernen har en bakgrunnsstøy i form av 1/f støy som også kalles rosa støy ("pink noise").
Hjernen er et dynamisk nettverk der nevronene hele tiden forsøker å stimulere eller hemme hverandre ved å utveksle elektriske impulser via synapsene (aksoner og dendritter). Dialogen mellom Thalamus og Cortex er særlig heftig…
Hjernen og nervesystemet har således et elektromagnetisk felt.
Mange (de fleste?) fenomener i naturen framviser også rosa støy, bl.a. naturens lyder (vindsus, bekkebrus, fossefall,…) , se f.eks.:
"What Is Pink Noise and How Does It Compare with Other Sonic Hues?", Healthline, 2019-06-21
Det kan være at også naturens lys (former og farger) har en slik effektspektraltetthet, og mennesker trives bedre i fraktale omgivelser enn i "sivilisasjonens" store, ensformige flater:
"We live among fractals. We feel much more comfortable among them than among the figures from our elementary geometry textbook."
—Michel Baranger (1927-2014)
Elektromagnetismens bølgenatur gir meg grunn til å gjette at det kan oppstå resonansfenomener mellom ytre felt og hjernens felt. Dette kan påvirke hjernens tilstand, og vedvarende resonans vil forandre hjernen, nervesystemet, og eventuelt andre organer (alle atomer omgis av elektromagnetiske felt…?)
For meg gir dette forklaringskraft for tre fenomener som jeg har personlig erfaring med:
Opphold i naturen befordrer velvære både for kropp og sinn; kunstige omgivelser preges av store, monotone flater og brå overganger. Slikt finnes ikke i naturen. Bevegelse i moderat tempo kan til en viss grad dempe skadevirkninger av kunstige omgivelser…‽
Elektromagnetisk stråling fra skjermer, mobiltelefoner, mm. påvirker vår mentale tilstand.
Dypsøvn er en primær kilde til velvære.
Noen overnaturlige fenomener (endog tankeoverføring) kan også forklares som elektromagnetisk resonans…‽

"Although love dwells in gorgeous palaces, and sumptuous apartments, more willingly than in miserable and desolate cottages, it cannot be denied but that he sometimes causes his power to be felt in the gloomy recesses of forests, among the most bleak and rugged mountains, and in the dreary caves of a desert."
— Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375)
“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more”
― Lord Byron (1788-1824)
“1. An honest ego in a healthy body
2. An eye to see nature
3. A heart to feel nature
4. Courage to follow nature
5. A sense of proportion (humor)
6. Appreciation of work as idea and idea as work
7. Fertility of imagination
8. Capacity for faith and rebellion
9. Disregard for commonplace (inorganic) elegance
10. Instinctive cooperation”
“Man is a phase of nature, and only as he is related to nature does he matter, does he have any account whatever above the dust.”
― Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959)
"Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
— Robert Frost (1874-1963)
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”
― John Muir (1838-1914)
"A small grove massacred to the last ash,
An oak with heart-rot, give away the show:
This great society is going to smash;
They cannot fool us with how fast they go,
How much they cost each other and the gods.
A culture is no better than its woods."
― W.H. Auden (1907-1973)
“A man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, powerlines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to set foot in it. We need the possibility of escape as surely as we need hope; without it the life of the cities would drive all men into crime or drugs or psychoanalysis.”
—Edward Abbey (1927-1989)
"We live among fractals. We feel much more comfortable among them than among the figures from our elementary geometry textbook."
—Michel Baranger (1927-2014)
"I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos. So nature is my god. To me, nature is sacred. Trees are my temples and forests are my cathedrals. Being at one with nature."
—Mikhail Gorbachev (1931-2022)
