Human fields and their impact on brain waves A pilot study
Jesus Acosta-Elias, Santiago Mendez-Moreno, Omar Vital-Ochoa and, Ricardo Espinosa-Tanguma

TL;DR
This pilot study explores whether human proximity to the head can influence EEG signals, suggesting potential interactions between natural human magnetic fields and brain activity, with preliminary evidence of measurable effects.
Contribution
It introduces an experimental approach to assess the impact of human-generated magnetic fields on EEG, a novel investigation into external influences on brain wave patterns.
Findings
Significant decrease in EEG power spectral density after hand-to-head approach in experimental group.
No significant change observed in control group.
Results suggest possible influence of human magnetic fields on brain activity.
Abstract
During brain function, groups of neurons fire synchronously. When these groups are large enough, the resulting electrical signals can be measured on the scalp using Electroencephalography (EEG). The amplitude of these signals can be significant depending on the size and synchronization of the neural activity. EEG waves exhibit distinct patterns based on the brain's state, such as whether it is asleep, awake, engaged in mental calculations, or performing other cognitive functions. Additionally, these patterns can be modified by external factors, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS involves bringing an antenna that generates variable electromagnetic fields close to specific areas of the skull to treat certain pathologies. Given that the human body naturally generates magnetic fields, a question arises: Can these fields influence the EEG by modulating neuronal function,…
