Abstract

Humans, and other living beings, show magnetic effects by two principles:

  • Magnetic flux as a cophenomenon of electrical currents due to electrical activity of neurons, ion flow in the muscles, etc.

  • Magnetic induction, due to varying magnetic susceptibilities of different tissues or components in the organism
