Biophysics

Biophysics is a branch of physics that deals with the natural phenomenon of life specifically the human body. The human body is a fascinating topic especially when physics is applied to it. Physics is especially used in the fields of neuroscience, neurology, and neurosurgery. The brain emits waves from gamma to beta waves, and delta to theta. These waves have been used in theories about the mind, and about consciousness. The nature of consciousness is a mystery that has eluded man for centuries what makes us conscious, and how does our brain unify information into conscious experience. Some theories posit that gamma waves play a major role in the unification/binding problem of information within the brain, and integrates it within conscious experience. So physics is especially important in the field of neuroscience, and the study of the human brain.
