well, to see if I can explain better ..

In which there is talk of creating an intelligent computer based on the computation by resonance between electromagnetic fields that are structured in a fractal way from low to high scale (and hence different frequencies), ranging from interaction with the field generated by biomolecules to large scale (eg brain) by the synchronized action of neuronal firing. They have based their theory (which have already developed some practical section when read) on how works the human mind and actually themselves are finding clues pointing in that direction as the total control (regardless of chemistry) of microtubular growth using electromagnetic fields:
K protein self-assembly via tunneling current: effect of electromagnetic pumping during spontaneous growth of microtubule
Live visualizations of single isolated tubulin protein self-assembly via tunneling current: effect of electromagnetic pumping during spontaneous growth of microtubule | Scientific Reports
However, apart from the work they have done, for me it is important to see if it can be found important functions of electromagnetic fields on biological systems and at different scales, because if these exist and have an important role may be nothing more and nothing less than a reflection of the fields at different scales pointted above, that is, a reflection of consciousness at different levels.
First, I think it should be noted the water as a fundamental part of the biological systems and because its interaction with electromagnetic fields is not trivial at all. In fact this may be the origin of the complexity, here are some texts on the subject:
" Emilio and other colleagues extended conventional QED theory to the condensed phase of liquids. They show that interaction between the vacuum electromagnetic field and water induces coherent excitations that lead to the formation of large, stable coherent domains (CDs) about 100 nm in diameter, resulting in the condensation into the liquid phase at some critical density. These CDs are present in liquid water at ordinary temperature and pressure, and may be responsible for all the special properties of water including life itself (Arani et al., 1995; Del Giudice, 2007; Del Giudice
Q6 and Vitiello, 2006; Del Giudice et al., 1988, 2010a,b). Each CD of water is effectively a resonating cavity produced by the electromagnetic field that ends up trapping the field because
the photon acquires an imaginary mass, so the frequency of the CD electromagnetic field becomes much smaller than the frequency of the free field with the same wavelength."
" EZ water appears to be 10 times more viscous than bulk water and its refractive index and density about 10% higher. It has many other distinctive properties indicative of structure, including a characteristic peak of light absorption at 270 nm. Emilio and colleagues (Del Giudice, 2007; Del Giudice and Q6 Vitiello, 2006; Del Giudice et al., 2010a,b) suggested that EZ water is a gigantic coherent domain stabilized on the surface of the attractive gel, although the higher density of EZ water rules out the tetrahedral-directed ice-like hydrogen bonds proposed for water in the coherent domains in free solution. Pollack (2013) has indeed proposed an entirely different structure for EZ water."

also
" The frequency of the trapped EMF lies in the infrared (IR) region of the spectrum. The oscillation
of the electron clouds of water molecules participating in the coherent dynamics pushes one electron per molecule just below the ionization threshold. Therefore CDs become pools of quasi-free electrons. The presence of a large number of quasi-free electrons in the CDs is the first step of the process allowing coherent water to become an electron donor, this process implying the additional dynamics described in the following."

Then there are the fields generated by Frohlich modes in different macromolecules
" in Frohlich model vibrational-polar modes are excited by a continuous supply of energy pumped by an external source, while these modes interact with the surrounding medium acting as a thermal bath. The interplay of these two effectspumping of energy subtracting entropy from the system and dissipative internal effects adding entropy to the systemmay lead to the emergence of complex behaviour in the system consisting in what can be called Frohlich effect : Provided the energy supply is sufficiently large compared with the energy loss, the system attains a stationary state in which the energy that feeds the polar modes is channelled into the modes with the lowest frequencies. The latter largely increase their populations at the expenses of the other higher-in-frequency modes, in a way reminiscent of a Bose—Einstein condensation [7]. This highly excited subset of modes may exhibit long-range phase correlations of an electret type [8].
Frohlich’s synchronous large-scale collective oscillations imply inter-cellular microwave emissions
which would constitute a non-chemical and non-thermal interaction between cells. These oscillations could therefore be revealed by detection of emissions of GHz or THz radiation."
Those have observerd for example in microtubules
" It has been shown that, on application of 1—20 MHz radio-frequency pulses to a heat bath with tubulin dimers, microtubules can assemble orders of magnitude faster in time, suggesting that ultrafast microtubule growth occur through radio-frequency-induced resonant excitation and alignment of tubulin dimers into a cylindrical shape. Besides, the spontaneous emission of coherent 3.1—3.8 MHz signals has also been observed during the subsequent GTP-induced polymerization, and it was found that the resulting microtubules exhibit length-independent electronic and optical properties. Moreover, additional resonance levels were observed when small-molecule drugs bind to tubulin’s docking sites during radio-frequency-induced assembly."

Yes, there are several issues as different biomolecules interact within the body; within cells is such that there are several possible ways to choose either signaling way that whilst undergoing energy function:
" Studies reveal that the exact channel or pump used to trigger such morphological changes is often irrelevant — many sodium, potassium, chloride, or proton conductances can be used as long as the appropriate bioelectrical state is reached."

Just a moment...
the widespread belief so far is that in the cell medium biomolecules are subject to Brownian motion in which by chance and through a key-lock function interact. However there are some inconsistencies, as they actually have to interact molecules appear attract remotely??? and the number of reactions is too high to be random only. So ther have been suggested some theories (Resonant Recognition Model with experiments confirmating it) so you can see some papers:

also in relation to other molecules, there is speculation that I found interesting that arises in the hallucinogenic drugs as some functions in relation to its fluorescence:
" Also the hollow microtubules (neurofibrillae) could act as light guiding structures. According to Jibu et al. their inner diameter of 15 nm is ideal for light guidance free of thermal noise and loss. Other findings that may be of importance in this context, are the strong flurescence properties of the major hallucinogens: LSD, bufetonine, dimethyl-tryptamine, psilocybine, psilocin, iboguanin, harmine, cannabidinol and mescaline. Furthermore it has been shown that hallucinogenic properties of these substances have a direct correlation to their fluorescence properties and their readyness to donate electrons. As hypothesis we propose that the fluorescence interacts physically with the proposed Biophoton mediated cell to cell communication thus producing hallucinations."

leading to talk of biophotons;It has already been found that they can have a direct relationship with neurons (despite generated in all types of cells) and brain functions.

this involves, along with those generated by other (water, frohlich modes, biomolecules) another layer of electromagnetic fields with specific functions, which contains information and can be part of the total conscious field of the biological system.
It should also be noted that the DNA has electrical characteristics that can react with the electromagnetic field

It is also noted that the morphogenesis also be a consequence of these electromagnetic information fields on one way or another (and their settings form part of the consciousness of the system).

more speculative, less tested, they are the texts of Alexis M. Pietak, but I find those interesting
" Similar to the abutilon ovary and squash male flower bud, cells in the female squash ovary in regions that correlate to highest electric field strength have changed into placental tissue cells, while
the six places of high magnetic field strength are also the six places where ova form in the squash ovary."

because is more integrative and include multiple frequencies at multiple scales, I think is the ultimate idea and that makes more sense.
Finally all this leads to a panpsiquista view of consciousness, a philosophy that despite being ignored in modernity has much older tradition (although personally I do not care too much because the former is also wrong often meaning that neither is a fact in favor or against) and strictly modern, still recovering in these times (say postmodern). The idea that a fundamental entity in this case the photon is the first piece of consciousness, the smaller part, a proto-conscious impulse, and that more or less ordered sets of these (the electromagnetic fields in this case) generated consciences more or less complex, including a temporary self.
