Human magnetic sense is mediated by a light and magnetic field resonance-dependent mechanism

Abstract

Overview

While it is widely considered that humans cannot detect the geomagnetic field, this paper presents evidence to the contrary, proposing a magnetic field resonance mechanism sensitive to light as a sensory mediator.

Findings

• Use of a rotary chair experiment and a two-alternative forced choice paradigm showed magnetic orientation in humans under specific light conditions.
• Subjects exhibited different magnetic orientation tendencies influenced by color, particularly blue light.
• Orientation ability was affected by radiofrequency magnetic fields matching the Larmor frequency, demonstrating a dependency on the angles between radiofrequency and geomagnetic fields.
• An inversion in the vertical component of the geomagnetic field indicated a non-standard inclination compass effect.

Conclusion

This research supports the existence of a magnetic sense in humans and posits a quantum mechanical mechanism underpinning magnetoreception, highlighting potential health implications from radiofrequency electromagnetic fields which could disrupt human magnetic orientation.
