I think I figured out where the failure to communicate happened. The Kaivarainen article is not speaking of electromagnetic effects external to the body on microtubals within the brain, but the physics involved (including electromagnetism) within the microtubal and among microtubals within the brain itself.
Your complaint is with external electromagnetic waves having any effect on brain function. The only strong wave-effect allegation I've seen is the one mentioned in the lawsuit I've been following.
Abraham's article has nothing to do with electromagnetism, he was only offering an alternative to the step-time worldview to deal with time related phenomenon already identified by experiment.
The International Institute of Biophysics interest is in ultralow photon emissions.
With regard to external forces, Kaivarainen mentions this:
Our model agrees with general idea of Marshall (1989) that Bose-condensation could be responsible for "unity of conscious experience." However, our model explains how this idea can work in detail and what kind of Bose condensation is necessary.
14.8 Another question frequently asked is: what's so special about neuronal microtubules, as opposed to those, say, in liver cells? In other words, why isn't your liver conscious? In answer to this, it should be said that the organization of microtubules in neurons is quite different from that in other cells. In most cells, microtubules are organized radially, from a central region (close to the nucleus) called the centrosome. In neurons, this is not the case, and they lie essentially parallel with one another along the axons and dendrites. The total mass of microtubules within neurons seems to be much greater than in other cells, and they are mainly stable structures, rather than in most cells, where they continually polymerize and depolymerize (grow and shrink). Of course, there is much to be learned about the respective roles of microtubules in neurons and in other cells, but there does seem to be clear enough evidence for an essentially distinct role for (some of) those in neurons. (The A-lattice/B-lattice question would seem to be of importance here also.)
14.9 In this connection, I should mention something of considerable interest and relevance that I learned recently from Guenther Albrecht-Buehler (1981, 1991), which concerns the role of the centriole, that curious "T" structure (roughly illustrated in Shadows, Fig. 7.5, on p.360), consisting of two cylinders resembling rolled-up venetian blinds, constructed from microtubules and other connectingsubstances, which lies within the centrosome. In Shadows, I had adopted the common view that the centrosome acts in some way as the "control centre" of the cytoskeleton of an ordinary cell (not a neuron), and that it initiates cell division. However Albrecht-Buehler's idea about the role of the centriole is very different. He argues, convincingly, in my opinion, that the centriole is the eye of the cell, and that it is sensitive to infra-red light with very good directional capabilities. (Two angular coordinates are needed for identifying the direction of a source. Each of the two cylinders provides one angular coordinate.) Impressive videos of fibroblast cells provide a convincing demonstration of the ability of these cells to pinpoint the direction of an infra-red light source. This also provides some remarkable evidence for individual cells having considerable information-processing abilities, which is at variance with current dogma. One may well ask where the "brain" of a single cell might be located. Perhaps its structure of microtubules can serve such a purpose, but it does seem that the centrosome itself must have some central organizing role. In a single (non-neuronal) cell, the microtubules emanate from the centrosome. I gather from Albrecht-Buehler that the specific contents of the centrosome are not known. It seems that it would be important to know what indeed is going on in the centrosome. Does it have some information-processing capabilities? Is there conceivably some structure there that is capable of sustaining quantum coherence in any form? The answers to questions of this nature could have considerable importance.
14.10 I should make clear that I am not arguing for any consciousness (or consciousness of any significant degree) to be present for individual cells. But according to the views that I have been putting forward, some of the ingredients that are needed for actual consciousness ought already to be present at the cellular level. Individual cells can behave in strikingly sophisticated ways, and I find it very hard to see how their behaviour can be explained along entirely conventional (classical) lines.
