Changing Velocity Circumcerebral Magnetic Fields Produce Altered State Experiences and Lowered Delta-Theta Power over the Temporal Lobes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Weak physiologically patterned magnetic fields applied through the cerebrum have been associated with opiate-like effects and mystical experiences including sensed presences and out-of-body experiences. While sitting in a comfortable chair housed in an acoustic chamber volunteers were exposed to Murphy's Shiva Hat from which cerebrally rotating, angularly decelerating magnetic fields (about 1 microTesla) were generated from arrays of 64 solenoids for 20 min. The sham-field exposed group wore the same hat and sat in the same place for the same duration of time. Subjects exposed to the burst-firing pattern generated fields with the changing angular velocity reported more out of body and sensed presence experiences than did the sham field group. Unlike the sham field group who displayed relative increases in delta power over both temporal lobes during the sessions, those exposed to the field exhibited diminished power that was comparable to their original aroused state. These results suggest that the effe cts of weak, complex magnetic fields on cortical electroencephalographic activity are consistent with patterns of cortical activatio n during altered states.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
