Neurology / Electromagnetic/ Frequency / Broadcasting question on Physics

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of enhancing the electromagnetic frequencies produced by the brain using a gold crown and quartz crystals connected to a TV antenna. While EEG is a standard method for recording brain signals, amplifying these low-frequency waves for broadcasting poses significant challenges. The low frequencies, ranging from 1-13 Hz, would require impractically long antennas for effective transmission. Traditional materials like copper are typically more effective for electrical circuits than gold in this context. Overall, while amplification is possible, broadcasting such low frequencies remains highly impractical.

Neurology / Electromagnetic/ Frequency / Broadcasting question On "Physics"

Say you have a brain running at 10-200 millionths of a volt at 1-13 Hz and you put a gold crown around it and hooking it up to a TV antenna with gold wire and some quartz crystals.

Would this boost the power of the frequency’s being broadcast or somehow strengthen the electromagnetic waves?

Is there any way to boost the transmission of a biological circuit like this or would that be impossible because it only works with copper wires or something?.

Recording these signals is a common medical procedure called EEG (electroencephalography). You could simply run the recorded signal through a big amplifier if you wanted to amplify them for some reason. However, such low frequency waves would be very difficult to "broadcast". You would need a 15,000 mile long antenna.
 

Thread 'What determines if wave components are independent vs coherent?'

I'm working through something and want to make sure I understand the physics. In a system with three wave components at 120° phase separation, the total energy calculation depends on how we treat them: If coherent (add amplitudes first, then square): E = (A₁ + A₂ + A₃)² = 0 If independent (square each, then add): E = A₁² + A₂² + A₃² = 3/2 = constant In three-phase electrical systems, we treat the phases as independent — total power is sum of individual powers. In light interference...
