Geomagnetics & Consciousness: Geomagnetic Field Effects & Human Psychophysiology (Part I)

Abstract

Anomalies during geomagnetic storms have potential psychophysical effects on human populations, as well as our technologies. Energetic events and ejections of plasma from the Sun cause dramatic changes in the radiation belts and magnetic field of Earth, as well as fluctuations in Schumann Resonance. Ben Lonetree has conducted numerous experiments correlating local geophysical anomalies in earth's magnetic field with EEG brainwaves of many subjects, and anecdotal reports of changes in consciousness. This article covers some basics of geophysics, electromagnetic effects on human psychophysiology, with some theories of psi and anomalous experience related to geomagnetics.

Part I of this two-part article contains: Introduction; & I. Geophysics.
