Can Magnets Make You See God?The power of belief over brain stimulation.

Psychedelic Mind

A neuroscientist's 'God Helmet' promised to induce spiritual encounters using magnets, with over 80% of participants reporting a 'sensed presence.' It suggested a biological root for mysticism. However, subsequent double-blind studies failed to replicate the results. Researchers now believe the experiences were caused not by magnetism, but by the power of suggestion. The controversy reveals how easily our profound feelings can be shaped by what we simply expect to feel.
