>THE GIST:

>* Strong magnetic fields could affect moral judgment.
>* Targeted magnetic fields can make people more inclined to judge outcomes, not intentions.
>* The findings could have implications for neuroscience, as well as the legal system.

Oh science.
Will you ever make up your mind about anything?

Strong enough magnetic fields can simulate brain lesions.

Tesla and Kirlian knew this years ago

Actually, Tesla invented a type of metallic strip which would act as a buffer for magnetic actions on your neural system and would impede the kind of photography Kirlian was taking

Kirlian on the other hand experimented and found that plants and many living things can perturb and be affected by energy in the form of magnetism or electric discharges (has to do with water/ion contents)

And both geniuses are called crazy until someone 'discovers' it decades after them

Magnetic bracelets are the twisted pseudoscience bastard child of Teslas invention whereas you can see Kirlians work in pic

I wonder if this will finally explain why cows always graze facing magnetic north or south.

I wonder if it means humans can consciously manipulate magnetic fields

Pipe dream, I know, but it would be awesome to type a 20000 word essay in a few minutes because I can control my keyboard with my mind

I've decided that rather than post a bajillion threads, I'll just post interesting links and drop them as conversation starters.

I'm a guy with a huge stiffy for alternative energy, renewable resources and biomedical stuff. Celebrate these repetitive themes with me. \o/

>Engineers at MagPower have developed a metal-air cell that uses water and ambient air to react with a magnesium anode, to generate electricity. A magnesium based version of the lithium-ion rechargeable cell has been created by Dr. Doron Aurbach at Bar-Ilan University in Israel.

>According to MagPower Systems, by using hydrogen inhibitors the MAFC has increased power efficiency, lower cell resistance, and the reduction or elimination of pressure and/or volume increase due to hydrogen gassing resulting in smaller metal-air fuel cells, and batteries.

>Magnesium is highly reactive and stores a lot of energy. Researchers are now devising ways to extract energy from magnesium in a more controlled method.

>A different tune: Cellular IPOD plays role in prion biology
> Cells take advantage of a biologically ancient compartment to sequester prions, an action that can initially prevent the prions’ phenotypic expression, according to Whitehead Institute researchers. While in this compartment, less heritable prion plaques mature to a more transmissible state.
>By looking at prion-producing yeast cells, Tyedmers noted that both long prion chains and prion clumps were associated with a biologically ancient compartment called IPOD, for “insoluble protein deposit”. When Tyedmers first turned on prion production in the cells, long prion chains began in the IPOD, and then extended beyond the IPOD as ribbons, which were bounded by the cells’ membranes to form rings. After many generations, the ring form turned into prion clumps that look like dots in the cells. These dots were a hodgepodge of numerous, very short prion chains that remained confined within the IPOD
Fascinating!

Slowpoking, but I just figured I'd dig it out.

If we can make a material that turns heat (ir radiation) into electricity and is viable (cheap, simple, effective) enough to construct, we'll solve the energy crisis

No.1108

Right you are. And outer space is absolutely swimming in dangerous radiation.

We aren't too many decades from a solid state material that converts radiation to power. Space colonies that passively recharge on sunlight and gamma rays.

Space suits that capture body heat on the inside and other radiation on the outside to convert it to electricity...

As a law student, I am constantly frustrated by our legal system's reliance on someone's being honest, even in situation where there is no material evidence to corroborate their honesty or a genuine concern that they may be lying for their own benefit.

If we could only develop a fMRI/functional transcranial Doppler (fTCD)/electroencephalograph device which could establish a person's honesty beyond a reasonable doubt (you don't have to be 100% sure that they're being honest/dishonest, just 90% sure; that's the official standard), then so much injustice could be rectified!

"Did you kill your wife Nicole Brown and her boyfriend Ronald Goldman?"

"No, I didn't!"

*Buzzing noise*

"Nothing further, you honor".

Think of all the people in jail who could be exonerated! Think of all the criminals who would otherwise walk free who'd be convicted! Think of the lying exes in custody court whose claims could be instantly discredited! Think of all the frivolous or vindictive lawsuits which would get thrown out before they even go to discovery!

Slight complication. Since the detection would be so good, there would be a bottleneck in what questions you're legally allowed to ask and how you're allowed to phrase them.

Hmm...law always is slow to catch up with technology, and usually does so in less than graceful ways...

Especially on the part of civil rights and privacy.
But, on the plus side, "the truth" would be damning to rich people. So maybe dirty old money and dirty old dynasty would incentivize "right to privacy" question criteria.

No.1490
>>1487

Well, we couldn't have attorneys asking damning questions unrelated to a case.

Still, I'd love to try and get that kind of technology implemented in politics. Imagine if all speeches and official testimony were lie-checked.

"I will never raise taxes!"

*BEEEEEEP!!!!*
