The effects of mind, emotional support systems, stress management, the placebo effect, and other subtle factors affecting health have been long noted and documented. The missing ingredient for serious clinical study within mainstream science of such effects has been the absence of a cause-and-effect link within the accepted scientic and medical paradigm. Electromagnetic and quantum effects, operating below the scale of chemical description have now become recognized as fertile ground for understanding these subtle linkages. The experimental bioelectric evidence reported by Tiller in this publication represent a significant advance in probing the linkage to mind of this level of bioelectromagnetic activity. In this chapter a related and interacting phenomenon is reported.

Physics is so successful today in understanding the nature of matter. What can it say about mind ? Is it possible to have a unified theory of matter and mind within the framework of modern science ? Is Consciousness an accident or is it a natural consequence of laws of nature ? Are these laws of nature the same as the laws of physics ? We make an attempt here to unify mind with matter based on an extended formalism borrowed from Quantum theory where information plays a more fundamental role than matter or thought.
