Human magnetoreception
Human magnetoreception
#1
Cool scientific paper showing that humans can detect magnetic fields (if only unconsciously). 

http://www.eneuro.org/content/early/2019...83-18.2019

They set up the test subjects in a Faraday cage and measured detection of the magnetic fields by EEG - even if the person couldn't tell anything was going on, the EEG changed when exposed to the magnetic fields, but only in certain rotations/presentations.  

For example, when the field was aligned in a way that is naturally present in the Northern Hemisphere, the subjects (Northern Hemisphere residents) showed the EEG changes.  If the EM field was presented in a Southern Hemisphere alignment, they didn't have the EEG change.
