A Neurophysical Hypothesis on the Role of the Intensity of the Electromagnetic Field Generated by the Cerebral Hemispheres in the Determination of Laterality, in Line with Einstein's Unified Field Theory

Abstract

Abstract Objective: Traditional models of cerebral laterality, focusing primarily on anatomical and functional asymmetries, fall short of explaining the underlying physical dynamics. This study pioneers a novel perspective by hypothesizing that the intensity of the electromagnetic field generated by the cerebral hemispheres plays a crucial role in determining laterality. Inspired by Einstein's unified field theory, we explore this hypothesis through an interdisciplinary approach that merges principles of physics with neurophysiology. Material and Methods: Our research employed an innovative experimental design involving three groups of male Wistar albino rats categorized based on handedness: right-handed, left-handed, and ambidextrous. We utilized electroencephalography (EEG) to measure the electromagnetic field intensity of the cerebral hemispheres, analyzing the data through a lens that combines traditional neuroscientific methods with concepts adapted from field theory. Results: The findings reveal a significant correlation between the intensity of the electromagnetic field in the dominant hemisphere and handedness, with dominant hemispheres displaying higher field intensities. Notably, ambidextrous rats exhibited no significant difference in field intensity between hemispheres, underscoring the potential influence of electromagnetic fields on hemispheric dominance. Conclusion: This study's implications suggest a radical rethinking of how cerebral functions might be influenced by electromagnetic phenomena. The integration of Einstein's unified field theory into the study of cerebral laterality opens new pathways for research. Our findings advocate for a broader, more integrated understanding of brain functionality, highlighting the need for further interdisciplinary research in this nascent field.
