There is no indication of EM-Fields involvement in biological functions. The observation of EM-fields where voltages spike and currents flow seems to be another case of the meta-scientific phenomenon of researchers in one discipline re-discovering the results of their colleagues from a neighbouring discipline. In this case biologists "discovering" Maxwells Equations.
- dekhn 2y agoI probably misunderstand your comment but electric potentials play many roles in biological functions (example: proton gradient). As for magnetism, it's certainly speculated that some migratory animals can detect the earth's magnetic field.
- valine 2y agoYou can induce an activation potential with an external EM field. That’s the entire basis for deep brain stimulation.
- stcredzero 2y agoA rediscovery is also a discovery. No need for the quotes here. EDIT: Finding more evidence for convergence between scientific fields is also worthy. (Though the delta is very small at this point.)
