  Gamma waves are associated with large-scale coordinated activities like perception, meditation or focused consciousness; beta with maximum brain activity or arousal; and theta with relaxation or daydreaming. These three wave types work together to produce, or at least facilitate, various types of human consciousness, according to Fries

• This is described as the phenomenon of spontaneous self-organization.
  Mathematician Steven Strogatz provides various examples from physics, biology, chemistry and neuroscience to illustrate "sync" - his term for resonance - in his 2003 book "Sync: How Order Emerges from Chaos in the Universe, Nature, and Daily Life," including:
  When fireflies of certain species come together in large gatherings, they start flashing in sync, in ways that can still seem a little mystifying.
  Lasers are produced when photons of the same power and frequency sync up.
  The moon's rotation is exactly synced with its orbit around the Earth such that we always see the same face.
  Examining resonance leads to potentially deep insights about the nature of consciousness and about the universe more generally.
  External electrodes can record a brain's activity

• But the exact relationship between electrical brain waves and consciousness is still very much up for debate.
  Fries calls his concept "communication through coherence." For him, it's all about neuronal synchronization. Synchronization, in terms of shared electrical oscillation rates, allows for smooth communication between neurons and groups of neurons

• So the shared resonance in a human brain that achieves gamma synchrony, for example, includes a far larger number of neurons and neuronal connections than is the case for beta or theta rhythms alone.
  What about larger inter-organism resonance like the cloud of fireflies with their little lights flashing in sync

• But his point was that they're relatively easy compared to the truly difficult problem of explaining how consciousness relates to matter.
  Over the last decade, my colleague, University of California, Santa Barbara psychology professor Jonathan Schooler and I have developed what we call a "resonance theory of consciousness." We suggest that resonance - another word for synchronized vibrations - is at the heart of not only human consciousness but also animal consciousness and of physical reality more generally

• Without this kind of synchronized coherence, inputs arrive at random phases of the neuron excitability cycle and are ineffective, or at least much less effective, in communication.
  A Resonance Theory of Consciousness
  Our resonance theory builds upon the work of Fries and many others, with a broader approach that can help to explain not only human and mammalian consciousness, but also consciousness more broadly.
  Based on the observed behavior of the entities that surround us, from electrons to atoms to molecules, to bacteria to mice, bats, rats, and on, we suggest that all things may be viewed as at least a little conscious

  All About the Vibrations
  All things in our universe are constantly in motion, vibrating. Even objects that appear to be stationary are in fact vibrating, oscillating, resonating, at various frequencies. Resonance is a type of motion, characterized by oscillation between two states
