Abstract: Macroscopic EEG fields can be an explicit top-down neocortical mechanism that directly drives bottom-up processes that describe memory, attention, and other neuronal processes. The top-down mechanism considered are macrocolumnar EEG firings in neocortex, as described by a statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (SMNI), developed as a magnetic vector potential

m a t h b f A

. The bottom-up process considered are

m a t h r m {C a}^{2 +}

waves prominent in synaptic and extracellular processes that are considered to greatly influence neuronal firings. Here, the complimentary effects are considered, i.e., the influence of

m a t h b f A

on

m a t h r m {C a}^{2 +}

momentum,

m a t h b f p

. The canonical momentum of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field,

m a t h b f P i = m a t h b f p + q m a t h b f A

(SI units), is calculated, where the charge of

m a t h r m {C a}^{2 +}

is

q = - 2 e

,

e

is the magnitude of the charge of an electron. Calculations demonstrate that macroscopic EEG

m a t h b f A

can be quite influential on the momentum

m a t h b f p

of

m a t h r m {C a}^{2 +}

ions, in both classical and quantum mechanics. Molecular scales of

m a t h r m {C a}^{2 +}

wave dynamics are coupled with

m a t h b f A

fields developed at macroscopic regional scales measured by coherent neuronal firing activity measured by scalp EEG. The project has three main aspects: fitting

m a t h b f A

models to EEG data as reported here, building tripartite models to develop

m a t h b f A

models, and studying long coherence times of

m a t h r m {C a}^{2 +}

waves in the presence of

m a t h b f A

due to coherent neuronal firings measured by scalp EEG. The SMNI model supports a mechanism wherein the

m a t h b f p + q m a t h b f A

interaction at tripartite synapses, via a dynamic centering mechanism (DCM) to control background synaptic activity, acts to maintain short-term memory (STM) during states of selective attention.
