Scientists Discover That Humans Can Sense Earth’s Magnetic Field
Researchers have discovered that humans can detect changes in Earth-strength magnetic fields. INTERESTING ENGINEERING Scientists from Caltech and The University of Tokyo have determined that many humans are able to unconsciously detect Earth’s magnetic field. The new study shows that human brain waves respond to changes in Earth-strength magnetic fields. The research team led by geoscientist Joseph Kirschvink (BS, MS ’75) and neuroscientist Shin Shimojo at Caltech as well as neuroengineer Ayu Matani at the University of Tokyo suggest evidence that there is a new human sense they are calling magnetoreception.
