    Language processing is a function more of the left side of the brain than the right side, particularly Broca's area and Wernicke's area, though the roles played by the two sides of the brain in processing different aspects of language are still unclear. Music is also processed by both the left and the right sides of the brain.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music-related_memory

    Musical memory refers to the ability to remember music-related information, such as melodic content and other progressions of tones or pitches. The differences found between linguistic memory and musical memory have led researchers to theorize that musical memory is encoded differently from language and may constitute an independent part of the phonological loop.

    Consistent light exposure has a greater effect than intermittent exposure. [14] In rats, constant light eventually disrupts the cycle to the point that memory and stress coping may be impaired. [15] The intensity and the wavelength of light influence entrainment. [2] Dim light can affect entrainment relative to darkness. [16]

  9. Electromagnetic theories of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories...

    McFadden views the brain's electromagnetic field as arising from the induced EM field of neurons. The synchronous firing of neurons is, in this theory, argued to amplify the influence of the brain's EM field fluctuations to a much greater extent than would be possible with the unsynchronized firing of neurons.
