From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The electromagnetic theory of consciousness is a theory that says the electromagnetic field generated by the brain (known for a long time, and measured by EEG’s) is the actual carrier of conscious experience.

This theory was initially proposed by scientists such as Johnjoe McFadden, Susan Pockett and E. Roy John.
