I wonder how the researchers came up with the idea to study this.
Anyway, this is good news? Dogs are more similar to humans, than what birds are, right. Maybe there's a magnetic field sensing dog gene that can be copied to humans? So that at least the future generations won't lose their orientation, as fast as I do, in the streets and indoor shopping malls.
- James_Henry 7y agoThere is a human neural response to magnetic fields: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190318132646.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190318132646.h...
- HappyDreamer 7y ago> revealed a decrease in alpha-band brain activity -- an established response to sensory input -- in some participants Interesting this happened in only some participants. Makes me wonder about sensing fields caused by electricity or the very weak fields caused by flowing water (which tends to contain some salt ions / charged particles).
- HappyDreamer 7y agoEdit: flowing water = no fields, because plus and minus ions evens out, no net charge. However if one is small as a molecule and really close to the water, then I suppose one would feel the fields of individual dissolved salt ions passing by
- jshevek 7y agoThey were fishing for anything of apparent statistical significance.
- blazespin 7y agoLikely because this is common behavior in animals and humans. It makes sense that dogs could be influenced.
- HappyDreamer 7y ago> this is common behavior What does "this" here refer to? (Thanks for the reply :- ))
