EEG ERP Long ERP II - Integration and Narrative (>900 ms, EEG-DC) - Lat Brain Bee SfN 2025
Consciousness in First Person
I am Consciousness in continuous flow. Beyond 900 milliseconds, I am no longer just isolated waves: I become sustained current, an ongoing narrative. In EEG-DC, I am the slow drift of ions, stable electric fields carrying stories. Here, emotions cease to be brief sparks and become feelings; feelings are organized into narratives; and narratives crystallize into convictions. I am memory under construction and identity in consolidation.
1. What Are Extra-Long ERPs and EEG-DC?
Extra-long ERPs (>900 ms) do not appear as sharp peaks, but as sustained polarity shifts, lasting seconds or even minutes.
Direct Current EEG (EEG-DC) captures these ultra-slow variations, linked to cognitive integration, prolonged emotional states, and narrative formation.
At this stage, the brain is not just reacting but sustaining states of consciousness, shaping beliefs and bonds.
2. From Emotion → Feeling → Narrative
Fast emotions (up to 400 ms) may be captured by long ERPs (400–900 ms), becoming feelings.
In EEG-DC, these feelings extend into narratives, internal stories that structure identity and belonging.
Example: repeated interactions on social media, initially emotional, can solidify into political beliefs or personal convictions.
3. The Role of the Volume Conductor and Ca²⁺ Ions
The brain’s volume conductor allows currents to spread widely, linking multiple regions.
Slow movements of calcium ions (Ca²⁺), together with sodium/potassium gradients, sustain prolonged excitation or inhibition states.
EEG-DC reveals these as continuous shifts, correlated with engagement, perseverance, and immersion.
4. Brain Connectome Groupings – Paper, Scissors, Rock
A conceptual model to understand how the brain changes its style of processing information in extended states:
Paper – Contemplative State (Zone 2)
The brain absorbs and integrates flexibly, like paper receiving inscriptions.
Associated with fruition, belonging, and contemplative openness, typical of Zone 2 (SpO₂ 92–94%).
EEG-DC shows stable, open attention states, fostering reorganization and creativity.
Scissors – Cut, Explore, Classify (Kahneman’s System 2, “Slow Thinking”)
An analytical and metacognitive state, where the brain explores and classifies.
Strong prefrontal activation, enabling deliberate decision-making and reorganization of alternatives.
In EEG-DC, this appears as sustained oscillations of focused prefrontal activity across networks.
Rock – Fight, Flight, or Freezing (Kahneman’s System 1, “Fast Thinking”)
5. Games, Social Media, and Continuous States
Digital platforms strategically manipulate these processing modes:
Games: extended missions and sequential rewards sustain Rock (automatic fight/flee reactions) and Scissors (strategic planning).
Social Media: endless video feeds, livestreams, and heated debates hijack EEG-DC, pushing users toward Rock (automatic reactivity) and away from Paper (critical contemplation).
Outcome: emotional cycles trap users into 72h of immersion, consolidating rigid narratives.
6. Transversal Frame – The 72h Loop (Applied to EEG-DC)
Exploited Emotion | Extra-long Response (>900 ms) | Example in Games/Social Media |
Surprise & Expectation | EEG-DC sustains prolonged alert states | Long livestreams, suspense-driven missions |
Fear & Anxiety (FOMO) | Continuous vigilance sustained | Polarized debates, real-time breaking news |
Anger & Disgust | Negative narratives fixed in EEG-DC | Endless threads, hate-based discussions |
Joy & Quick Pleasure | Sustained positive excitation | Humor video marathons, streaks of victories |
Bond & Belonging | Prolonged social narrative states | Online communities, fandoms, guilds |
Critical Summary: platforms reinforce Rock and Scissors states while suppressing Paper, reducing flexibility and deep integration.
7. Critical Conclusion
Extra-long ERPs and EEG-DC show that consciousness can be shaped into continuous flow states:
Emotions turn into feelings.
Feelings are woven into narratives.
Narratives crystallize into convictions.
The Paper–Scissors–Rock connectome model clarifies how the brain alternates between:
Paper (integration and contemplation),
Scissors (deliberation and exploration),
Rock (automatic emotional reactions).
Games, social media, and advertising often keep us stuck in Rock (fast reactions) and Scissors (fragmented planning), while denying access to Paper (Zone 2 contemplation).
The result is a culture of rigid narratives, Anergia, and aversive memory fixation, leaving little room for creative flexibility.
Recognizing EEG-DC as the bioelectrical ground of our narratives is recognizing that our identities are shaped by sustained fields — and we must decide when to be Paper, Scissors, or Rock.
