      Geomagnetism and dream data

      Hello everyone,

      I wonder if someone has conducted a study similar to the one of Darren Lipnicki: NewScientist online article.
      The are also articles in parapsychology connecting Kp index with anomalous cognition and local sidereal time.

      If nobody here has done the study, I'm considering posting a survey on this topic.

      P.S: i've also posted this message on the dream-journal section which may not be the correct place for such topic.

      In this modern day technological state, full of EM fields, radio signals and cell phone microwaves, does the average person still manage to ever get much exposure to the earth's magnetic field? Not a rhetorical question, I'm curious whether we do.

      At any particular location, typical disturbances produce changes in field strength of the order of 50 - 200 nT in a total field strength of approximately 50,000 nT.

      The subjects in these experiments were typically in urban environments where field changes due to buildings and ferrous structures can be many times larger than this and occur rapidly as the body moves through steep field gradients. It thus seems improbable that the geomagnetic fluctuations are themselves responsible for the modulation of AC [Anomalous Cognition] performance.

      The GMF Fluctuations and Free Response AC surface level field fluctuations are one result of complex interactions between emissions
      of particles and radiation from the sun and earth’ field.

      It is likely that the correlation with anomalous cognition reported here is due to some other parameter associated with these interactions.
      James Spottiswoode, 1997, Geomagnetic fluctuations and free response anomalous cognition: a new understanding.

      In other words the geomagnetic index correlation with AC (or dream) doesn't imply that the GMF fluctuations caused by solar activities (or other sources) is the source of the special consciouness experiences. However it is a good indicator of how easy/improved these experiences can be.

      You guys are way beyond me. Onward.

      EM is one thing. All of QM, as our very own brains do it... is quite another.

      Your information quotients, I respect.
