The Impact of a Low Induction Magnetic Field on Brain Wave Rhythms in Young Women and Men with and without Disturbances of Logical- Mathematical Thinking

We studied the impact of a low induction magnetic field on alpha, beta, theta, SMR and delta brain wave rhythms, registered in RT mode by means of an expert system ProComp+/ BioGraph V2.1 from the F-C and F-C leads. The research involved 70 women and 70 men aged 19-23 with and without manifest difficulties in solving logical-mathematical problems, divided into four groups of 35. The examinations were performed at the Psychophysiology Laboratory in War saw. Statistical analysis shows that, regardless of cerebral hemisphere, IQ and sex, low induction magnetic fields can be used to modify the amplitude values of particular brain wave rhythms in chosen directions, which means they can be used to in crease the capacity of one or both cerebral hemispheres. These effects were not obtained with a placebo, which excludes a psychological factor being responsible for increasing the ability to make analytic-synthetic distinctions. More specific interpretation of the results presented here re quires longitudinal observation.
