Geophysical Variables and Behaviour: XXXIX
Alterations in Imaginings and Suggestibility
During Brief Magnetic Field Exposures
by Christine F. DeSano and M. A. Persinger
at Laurentian University
originally in Perceptual Motor Skills, 1987
——————————————————————–
Male and female subjects were exposed to alternating magnetic fields
of 1 and 4 Hertz which were applied across their mid-superior
Temporal lobes.
In addition, a green light was pulsed in phase with the magnetic
field while the participant was instructed to imagine an encounter
with an alien.
——————————————————————–
Rostral (at nose level) to the upper half of the ear, retractable
arms were placed, each containing a 25 CM (1 CM diameter) soft iron
nail wrapped (1050 turns) with insulated wire (20 gauge).
A function generator was used to drive the solenoids with sine wave
current at either 1 HZ or 4 HZ.
Magnetic field intensity was about 15 GAUSS at the skull surface.
Field strength measured at the temporal cortex was 2 GAUSS.
Maximum field strength as measured at the level of the frontal lobes
was 200 MGAUSS (a 10 factor decrease).
At the level of the hippocampus, field strength was 500 MGAUSS.
All subjects generated elaborate imaginings when exposed to a green
light flashing in sync with the driven solenoids.

4 HZ field imaginings included a sensation of rising or floating.
The end result of the experiment was that hypnotic susceptibility
may be increased following magnetic-field exposure but that the most
effective frequency is different for each sex.
The quantity of imagery generated (particular the floating
sensations) INCREASED if the person observed a light flashing in
sync with a 4 HZ applied magnetic field.
Most interesting of all was that the magnetic field strengths were
MUCH LESS than those expected to occur in NATURAL SETTINGS.

Vangard Notes..
OMNI writer Dennis Stacy did an article on Persinger’s
research in December of 1988 (I think). It relates the UFO
encounter phenomenon and how it could quite possibly be
INDUCED by alternating magnetic fields of relatively low
intensity.
As I remember the article, Persinger was using a football
helmet with multiple solenoids placed in a grid and
supported over the skull.
When the helmet was driven by a computer as a peripheral
device (a printer), various patterns (characters) could be
projected onto the brain of the subject to induce various
effects.
If any of our KeelyNet associates come across this article, we
would appreciate a copy or uploading of the text that we might
annotate and included it in a text file.
