Blood electrocution would get you first. Moving conductor in a magnetic field generates a current, and you'd just need a current big enough to confuse the cardiac nerves. Given that existing MRI research magnets can give weird nervous system feelings when patients wiggle, just an order of magnitude or two more and you'd get knocked out by your own circulating blood.
- makomk 12y agoDon't most of the problems with nerve stimulation in existing MRI systems come from the gradient coils rapidly modulating the magnetic field, rather than people moving around?
