You have to wonder how high fields might modify the behavior of non-neuronal tissue, as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectromagnetics A friend of mine experiments with nootropics and talks quite a bit about modafinil, which I *think* is a calcium channel blocker. I have to think a large mag field would impact whatever ions were swimming around any given tissue. But experimenting on such things must be difficult.

But my favorite story (?) I use on Renee' is that: The pineal gland is The Third Eye and is sensitive to light. She and her sisters all insist on total darkness when they sleep (even to the point of taping over the LED light on the smoke detector in hotel rooms). Birds are also sensitive to light. So, while this implies she and her sister are Bird Brains, it also implies they are more enlightened than the rest of us with defective Third Eyes. > 3.

But if the placebo effect is real, then *anything* we do is self-medicating. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com archives back to 2003: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove

Very nice inside joke! Of course, you mean: If the cable changed its behavior, we changed our behavior. 8^)
