^This...exactly.
This seems all kinds of testable. Construct apparatus to significantly interfere with the fields, turn it one, then look for changes...if it's really something fundamental to consciousness, that should be discernible one way or another.

I don't see why both action potentials, electromagnetic waves and whatever phenomenon we discover next can't be all contributing factors to consciousness?
