While this doesn't go as far as to claim that the magnetic field necessarily influences our behaviour in any way (more research needed), studies like these always make me wonder how much may be going on "under the hood" in our bodies without us being aware of it and its influence on who we are what we do.
A magnetic field should be able to interact with dipoles in the body, but the force produced would be very tiny. I'd imagine that "Drop in Alpha waves" was probably very tiny too (I haven't read...

The article doesn't make any claims like this. Nor does the study itself: "At this point, our observed reduction in alpha-band power is a clear neural signature for cortical processing of the geomagnetic stimulus, but its functional significance is unknown."
If anything I assume the sense would be more akin to how our sense of balance works; it's incredibly improbable that facing one direction or another could bolster or weaken one's thoughts.

I'm skeptical of this claim. If there was any subconscious magnetic sense of direction then it would be able to point towards the nearest magnetic pole; no distinction between North or South,...
But authors say the new research suggests the human system can tell north from south, supporting an alternative mechanism involving special cells containing iron-based crystals.
I'm skeptical of this claim. If there was any subconscious magnetic sense of direction then it would be able to point towards the nearest magnetic pole; no distinction between North or South, merely direction to the nearest pole. Just like a compass.
Same here, so I feel it's only fair I share my bias as well lol. That being said I still support the latter claim as we should be reacting to the magnetic field and sensing its direction flow.
I have never been to the southern hemisphere, so in theory you could be absolutely correct.

Veritasium has just put up a video about this research
