I read that magnetism and electricity are basically the same thing. If I put a large magnet to my skull...?

Question

Will it affect the electrical activity of my brain?

Answer 1

The 'electrical' activity of the brain is largely chemical, and is mostly unaffected by magnetic fields. However, magnetic fields can be used as part of a system to measure what's happening in your brain. These various scans are a medical diagnostic tool and also a research tool. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging can distinguish among differing tissue types.

And no, magnetism and electrically are not the same. They are interdependent, but are both independent of gravity.

Answer 2

Magnetism can generate electricity and electricity can cause magnetism. This is whyn Electromagnetic waves self create themselves and cvan travel forever ( theoretically) in one direction. The magnet will not affect the electrical activity in your brain unfortunately...

Answer 3

If you move the magnet around on your head, it would induce an electric current in any metal you have in your head but I don't think it would affect the normal electrical processes in your body.

Answer 4

NO, electricity is flowing electrons in a medium, while a huge part of magnetism is still unknown, they are not the same.

unless you have coils of copper wire in your brain, it will not affect your brain

Answer 5

You heard wrong. M & E are phenomena closely related but definitely NOT the same, otherwise that magnet would electrocute you!

Answer 6

Nope. Can't get through the thick skull. Not ment to be offensive.

Answer 7

Yes it will,the activity is affected by the most subtle changes in your environment.whether its internal or external. you ask great Questions
