    Study: Magnets can alter morality

    Holy shite !! I wonder if this is jusnk science or if there's actually a significant enough effect induced to perhaps say, form a legitimate legal defense around it?

    Hmmm, I scanned the article to try and see how high the magnetic fluctuations applied to the subjects were but didn't see specifics. Guess I'll be reading up on Transcranial magnetic stimulation.

    As I am totally ignorant on the subject so it might seem like a dumb question but knowing this is possible, does the saying that full moons make people act a little "off" have credence now? Maybe?

    Interesting thought. I suppose it depends how much of a change in the magnetic field around us would be needed to bring on a behavioural change.

    Whoa. So this could potentially lead to studies of the brain that would prove WHY someone committed a crime and how they felt about it at the time?

    Sounds like something straight out of a Philip K. Dick novel....

    No, considering that the strongest gravitational effects will always be from the Sun, and it is constant. Nothing can compare even the slightest.
