I wonder if a study involving magnets would garner a similar result? If they were the right polarity you would think they would encourage synaptic growth and strengthen nueron reception...Or, perahps a combination of magnetic therapy with low levels of induction?
oh noes. Not the magnet idea again!!
I doubt anyone on here knows about it. Early psychologists (we're talking 1800s!) actually were very interested in the idea of magnets effecting the brain. And early studies showed it to be very effective in controlling a person's actions. The problem was since they weren't double blind studies the researchers ended up signaling the patients. when double blind studies were performed, magnets had absolutely no effect.
this study was the main catalyst for double blind studies becoming the norm in science.edit on 7-2-2013 by Ghost375 because: (no reason given)

Dear rickymouse,
I am so sorry that you have epilepsy. My older sister's first boyfriend had it and drown alone in his bathtub during an episode. I introduced the two of them. I know in the last 40 years there are many more treatments available and truly hope that you have found one that works for you. My limited understanding is that people with epilepsy can be set off by certain frequencies of lights and sounds. That would explain the fluorescent lights.
Our brains do have electricity running through them and I would assume that they could be impacted by magnetic and electromagnetic currents. I do not believe that being around the currents can make us smarter. Today we are exposed to so many waves; but, it was not that way in Einstein's time. If we are exposed now more than ever before to electric waves and magnetic waves then we would expect to see an increase in genius using your hypothesis; but, we do not. The frequency of genius has not changed. We have not gotten smarter as a species, we merely have more knowledge. Best wishes.
My epilepsy is Temporal lobe, I don't get full blown seizures. I can't take any meds, I am allergic to them all because they effect the P450 enzyme system and my liver doesn't like that. I can use diet to control it but that is still hard. I haven't had a seizure in four years now though, I've had auras but eating something special gets rid of those before anything happens.

It makes total sense that electricity could run seamlessly through the body. We are charged with natural electricity just so we can exist. We absorb nutrients from the food and beverages that we consume and charge our batteries naturally.
So with that thought and the idea of being near water in mind, consider even this:
Could we be disconnected from the source. Are we supposed to be a part of an existing power grid and somehow got disconnected. Perhaps the few and the powerful are the ones that control the grid. We would be at significant disadvantage (--to give credit to comments in this thread--). Our brains would not work optimally, we could be sick and die easily. We could have stunted growth. This would explain the history of men and giants walking together. This would explain how people like Moses and Noah were something like 300-400 years old.
Also, if electricity is or was flowing freely thru the world, wouldn't that make it easy to make something magnetic and metallic float? There are too many ideas to list with this idea. But one is the idea of magnetic levitation used to control flight. This planet is brimming with energy!

How would anyone know what the difference would have been if you didn't do that lab work? Ever think about that?

How far would those effects reach? Across the whole of the campus?
Because I wasn't there for the whole of the day, obviously. And in hindsight I doubt that my results while working in that lab were that much different to anything else I did in studies in the library or other labs.
I even did study far away from campus, no side-effects known.

To become a Shaman you should be struck by lightning?
The pyramids were built over underground water that emitted Ions.
The holy sites were either over underground water or near lakes or rivers. On a lake there is a charge built up on the surface that glows to the highest spot.
Could high voltage/low amps help our thinking and stimulate the mind? I'm not saying that anyone should electrocute themselves but it is something to consider.
Would the Physicists tell us if they knew?
I am not talking about electrocuting yourself, I am talking about standing barefoot by a lake. I am saying maybe we should let the energy of the earth flow through us by taking off our shoes and walking in the grass.
