Short term and long term memories may be stored differently in biological tissues
Dear Syed
According to my mathematics called self-field theory (SFT) there may be two different methods of storing memories: one is based on electromagnetic (EM) fields while long term memories are stored as strong nuclear (SN) fields, probably within DNA. The conversion of short and long term memories presumably happens during 'deep' sleep when the two dimensional, EM fields are somehow converted into three-dimensional gluon encoded data within quarks. This is implied by the structure of the mathematics and its connections to particle physics.
The mathematics
If this hypothesis is correct the question is what happens to 'sound' in long term memories?
Could this be useful in your research into consciousness?

With a SIM card and a code we have access to a huge amount of information which is not stored in the cell phone but in the Cloud, i.e. in big servers at another place in space. I claim the same for our memory. It is enough with a code in the brain but the memory of an event is not stored in brain. It does not have to be stored at all as all events past, present and future exists in spacetime, which is at least ontologically 4D but possible to extend to 6D see http://www.drpilotti.info/eng/sixdimensioinal-relativity.html

am not an expert, but think I knnow enough to give an opinión.
That there are two separate mechanisms is beyond dispute, and can be infered
directly from general psychology, without refering to specific mechanism.
However I think your are for example mixing in certain physical concepts, which to my mind
cannot influence memory. For example how are electromagnetic waves supposed to retain memory?
I would go for more Phisiological stuff as in neuronal networks of the brain, but again
am not a physician. The more you use a certain circuit in a neuronal network, the more likely it will be used again. These networks can be simulated on a computer
and are used in AI, and by industry. . Neuronal networks can make mistakes, same as humans.

I think it is well established that
long term memories go along with
building up or removing connections
between neurons at the synapses.
Proteins are involved. It seems to
be sufficient to store the strength
of a connection. No DNA involvement
is necessary. It would take to long
to recall a memory from DNA. On the
other hand, long term memory storage
requires only a few bits per second.
No need for genetic storage.
Yes, consciousness is related to memory.
Without memory, we wouldn't be able to
speak about our experiences we consider
conscious ones. The easiest way for
nature to trick us into thinking we had
a conscious experience is to manipulate
memories.
