> The result: some of those people showed a response to the magnetic fields on the EEG! I wonder if that correlates with people who believe in astrology.
If you don’t want the EEG to capture your brainwaves you can wear a tin foil hat to lead the magnetic field astray.
whenever I remind about mind reading - I get down voted and called schizophrenic. it's worse - tech is being actively used to sway large groups of population
Reminds me of a study I read once on binaural beats[0], that found the effect disappeared when they used pneumatic (non-magnetic) headphones. [0]the theory that playing a different tone in each ear, that when superpositioned by the brain to produce a low frequency, would entrain the brainwave frequency to the modulated frequency.
Do you have a link to the pmeumatic headphones study you mention?

Is there any actual science behind binaural beats? They do nothing in my experience…
edit: lol. downvotes on friendly reminder, what a classic.
my friend was not sure what everyone sees on 3d TVs. then got rid of it. later it turned out it was because of eye cancer.
take care.
I don't want to be mean but this honestly reads like an AI-fueled delusion.
I’m surprised this made it to the front page of HN. I think AI tools are making it easier to create increasingly plausible-sounding bullshit, and gradually overwhelming the defenses of this community.

tinfoil hat does NOT help with that. field tested
(Slightly more seriously, the diamagnetic properties of Sn would in actuality very much interfere with the B1 field modulation of the (f)MRI sequence; and disturb the local B0 homogeneity; and thus disturb the experimental results. Although that was of course not what I meant when initially responding)

I'm not 100% sure I'd call that a hallucination, but it's close enough and interesting enough that I'm happy to stand corrected.
When improper use of a statistical model generates bogus inferences in generative AI, we call the result a "hallucination"...
