Un investigador en los Estados Unidos cree que ha encontrado evidencia de una magnética "sexto sentido" en los seres humanos.
Joe Kirschvink del Instituto de Tecnología de California sostiene que ha encontrado pruebas repetibles y verificables de que los seres humanos son capaces de detectar campos magnéticos. Sobre la base de un estudio anterior que indicaba estas mismas habilidades en otros animales, Kirschvink llevó a cabo un ensayo con un pequeño grupo de 24 voluntarios se les pidió que sentarse en el interior de una jaula de Faraday - un recinto especial que bloquea las interferencias electromagnéticas. para el experimento los participantes fueron expuestos a un campo magnético, mientras Kirschvink analizó la actividad eléctrica de sus cerebros usando un sistema de monitorización electrofisiológica. mientras que sus hallazgos tienen sin embargo, una evaluación inter pares, se cree que la capacidad de detectar campos magnéticos se deriva de las células receptoras especiales magnéticas que actúan como las agujasdeuna brújula. se espera que más investigación en un futuro próximo para corroborar sus resultados.
A researcher in the United States believes he has found evidence of a magnetic 'sixth sense' in humans
.Joe Kirschvink from the California Institute of Technology maintains that he has found repeatable and verifiable evidence that humans are able to sense magnetic fields.
Building on an earlier study which indicated these same abilities in other animals, Kirschvink carried out a trial involving a small group of 24 volunteers who were asked to sit inside a Faraday cage - a special enclosure which blocks electromagnetic interference.
For the experiment the participants were exposed to a magnetic field while Kirschvink analyzed the electrical activity of their brains using an electrophysiological monitoring system.
While his findings have yet to be peer reviewed, he believes that the ability to detect magnetic fields stems from special magnetic receptor cells which act as 'compass needles'.
Further research is expected to be carried out in the near future to corroborate his results.
