The electromagnetic basis of social interactions
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.
