Abstract
This study introduces the Heart–Brain Axis Matrix (HBAM) as a phase-locked toroidal electromagnetic structure within Earth's geomagnetic field, proposing a bioelectromagnetic framework for sensory filtering and emotion–memory processing. The model interprets phase synchronization between the cardiac electromagnetic field, the Reticular Activating System (RAS), and the Schumann Resonance as a potential regulatory mechanism governing affective and memory processes.
HBAM integrates the intrinsic cardiac nervous system, the autonomic nervous system, and higher-order cortical centers, dynamically resonating with both internal and geomagnetic stimuli. Within this framework, emotion may be interpreted as pressure-based phase energy condensation, whereas memory is approached as a real-time process governed by phase coherence.
To provide preliminary support for this model, we analyzed time series data of heart rate variability (HRV) and Schumann resonance. Cross-correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant, though modest, positive correlation (r = 0.038, p = 0.023), with peak alignment at a lag of 2775 seconds. These findings suggest that cardiac rhythms may intermittently synchronize with geophysical electromagnetic activity, highlighting the need for further investigation of phase-resonant mechanisms in human physiology.
