Magnetoreception Central

Neurophysiology of Magnetoreception (Animals that can receive low frequency magnetic fields)
My Masters thesis work was with David Dickman (Otolaryngology), Dora Angelaki (Anatomy and Neurobiology), and Ron Indeck (EE) who runs MISC. Our experiments aim to answer the question of whether the pigeon vestibular system is involved in a magnetic field compass.

If you are unaware of what some people think fields can do to a person look here: sort of amusing
