  2. Extremely low frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency

    The fundamental Schumann resonance is at approximately 7.83 Hz, the frequency at which the wavelength equals the circumference of the Earth, and higher harmonics occur at 14.1, 20.3, 26.4, and 32.4 Hz, etc. Lightning strikes excite these resonances, causing the Earth–ionosphere cavity to "ring" like a bell, resulting in a peak in the noise ...

  3. Schumann resonances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schumann_resonances

    The global electromagnetic resonance phenomenon is named after physicist Winfried Otto Schumann who predicted it mathematically in 1952. Schumann resonances are the principal background in the part of the electromagnetic spectrum [2] from 3 Hz through 60 Hz [3] and appear as distinct peaks at extremely low frequencies around 7.83 Hz (fundamental), 14.3, 20.8, 27.3, and 33.8 Hz.

  4. Stochastic resonance (sensory neurobiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_resonance...

    Stochastic resonance is a phenomenon that occurs in a threshold measurement system (e.g. a man-made instrument or device; a natural cell, organ or organism) when an appropriate measure of information transfer (signal-to-noise ratio, mutual information, coherence, d', etc.) is maximized in the presence of a non-zero level of stochastic input noise thereby lowering the response threshold; [1 ...

  5. Earth–ionosphere waveguide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth–ionosphere_waveguide

    The dispersion characteristics of the Earth-ionospheric waveguide can be used for locating thunderstorm activity by measurements of the difference of the group time delay of lightning signals at adjacent frequencies up to distances of 10000 km. [7] The Schumann resonances allow to determine the global lightning activity.

  6. Bioelectromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetics

    Bioelectromagnetics, also known as bioelectromagnetism, is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and biological entities. Areas of study include electromagnetic fields produced by living cells, tissues or organisms, the effects of man-made sources of electromagnetic fields like mobile phones, and the application of electromagnetic radiation toward therapies for the ...

  9. Quantum biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_biology

    Moreover, quantum biology may use computations to model biological interactions in light of quantum mechanical effects. [3] Quantum biology is concerned with the influence of non-trivial quantum phenomena, [ 4 ] which can be explained by reducing the biological process to fundamental physics , although these effects are difficult to study and ...
