However, that doesn’t mean that your body isn’t still sensing the geomagnetic forces, and a new study suggests that humans, like many other animals, can indeed sense the magnetic field.

First, they employed the LSMOD.2 paleomagnetic field model to simulate global magnetic field conditions at five specific temporal epochs spanning the excursion (42,153, 41,168, 40,977, 40,531, and ...

Now, research suggests that some people do indeed perceive magnetic fields, albeit unconsciously. In response to a changing magnetic field, so-called alpha brainwaves, the background “hum” of the ...

Magnetoreception, or the ability to sense the Earth’s magnetic field, pops up throughout the animal kingdom, but it’s generally thought to be something humans missed out on. But new research ...

The human brain senses and responds to changes in Earth's magnetic field—a sense known as magnetoreception. The Earth's magnetic field is what causes a compass to point north, with the pin being ...

We see this effect in human embryonic kidney cells; you’re not going to convince me that an effect in brain cells is of any greater or lesser significance.” Kirschvink, for one, does think the ...

Humans may have a sixth sense after all, suggests a new study finding that a protein in the human retina, when placed into fruit flies, has the ability to detect magnetic fields.

The universe is soaked in weak-but-persistent magnetic fields. Despite decades of research, astronomers still aren't exactly sure where these magnetic fields came from. But new research suggests they ...

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions associated with human activity, not solar winds or Earth's weakening magnetic field Hotspots ranked Start the day smarter ☀️ Funniest cap ...

Birds Can "See Earth's Magnetic Field. To find north, humans look to a compass. But birds may just need to open their eyes, a new study says.

And don’t be silly, you can’t really “feel” the Earth’s magnetic field, though according to a new study by the University of Massachusetts Medical School, you might be able to see it.
