Could you do this with a high strength magnetic ring?

  As someone with the actual implant, I'd say no. Think of it this way, people have been wearing magnetic body jewelry as an alternative to piercings for decades. Sensing magnetic fields has never been associated with magnetic jewelry. The same way that holding a buckyball between two fingers close to a fan doesn't really create an unusual or striking response. There's something unique about the implant that can't be replicated in other ways. I mean, I haven't tried this external device, but the above is my response to questions about magnetic rings, nail polish, earrings, etc.
