Abstract

Abstract Summary

Overview

Living organisms including humans show a remarkable sensitivity to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields, specifically at very small intensities, noted at tens of nT.

Findings

  • The study explores how certain activities in an individual's central nervous system could potentially be detected magnetically by others nearby.
  • Despite the simple nature of these magnetic signals, continuous and close proximity exposure could lead to individuals forming associations based on these magnetic cues, similar to visual or auditory signals.
  • This phenomenon extends to group behavior in various social settings like family gatherings, animal packs, public events, and even instances like riots or in predator/prey interactions.

Conclusion

The research builds upon the concept of a human magnetic sense and introduces a fresh perspective on electromagnetic hypersensitivity, proposing that this condition might stem from an overload of sensory input.
