Concept |
My concept explores magnetism as it relates to the body. From the neurons in the brain, to electromagnetic pulses in the nervous system, to the abundance of ways that magnets are used to heal and transform the body, magnets have become vital in understanding the body and how it works. Magnetic body scanning has developed greatly in order to analyze brain and body function, just as transcranial magnetic stimulation has been created to benefit those with depression and anxiety. Pairing these external magnets with the body has allowed for even greater research and understanding of the interworking magnetic systems that are inside the body.
