A schematic representation of the CEMI field theory of consciousness. The synchrony of action potential (AP) and the laminar organisation of neurons (LN) in the neocortex allow for the phase-locking of the resultant local electromagnetic field fluctuation (FLUCT), thus increasing the intensity of the field by several folds. This fluctuation in turn can have effects on the near and distant electromagnetic properties of neurons, represented here by one neuronal axon (NA). This impact can be theoretically so intense that it can result in generation of action potential in the neuron
