Can subjective affective experiences—such as pleasure and displeasure—be directly encoded in the spatial patterns of the brain’s electromagnetic field, independent of complex synaptic connectivity? This study explores these questions through a radically simplified computational model.Model Design PhilosophyWe constructed an artificial system of fifty neurons and deliberately removed all lateral synaptic connections between them. Each neuron maintains only self-feedback dynamics; no traditional information transmission occurs between neurons. The sole global, integrative output of the system is the electromagnetic field generated collectively by the neurons’ electrical activity. This field is simulated as a topographic map of electrical potential over the scalp.The system was placed in an affective attention task. Most of the time, it received neutral standard stimuli. Occasionally, deviant stimuli appeared with either high or low physical intensity, labeled as having “positive” or “negative” affective valence, respectively. The system’s goal was to learn to produce distinguishable spatial field patterns for each valence—positive stimuli should activate frontal regions, and negative stimuli should activate posterior regions. Learning was achieved through an evolutionary selection mechanism, without real-time adjustment of synaptic weights.Key FindingsAfter selection, the system successfully developed affective discrimination. The electromagnetic field induced by positive stimuli was significantly stronger at frontal sensor locations, whereas negative stimuli induced stronger fields at posterior sensors. This field separation peaked approximately 150 to 300 milliseconds after stimulus onset. Furthermore, deviant stimuli elicited a pronounced surge in the spatial entropy and temporal complexity of the electromagnetic field, a temporal profile highly reminiscent of electrophysiological signatures of conscious access in the human brain.Theoretical ImplicationsThis study demonstrates thateven under extreme conditions lacking synaptic connections, consciousness-related electromagnetic field signatures—including the spatial encoding of affective content and the complexity surge associated with attentional reorientation—can emerge spontaneously under evolutionary pressure. These findings support a central tenet of the conscious electromagnetic information field theory: the electromagnetic field itself may be the physical substrate of subjective experience, rather than a mere epiphenomenon of neural activity. They suggest that in explaining the unity of consciousness and the qualia of emotion, we may need to look more closely at the field physics of the brain, rather than focusing exclusively on the synaptic connectome.
