Can the electromagnetic field generated by the heart of one person could be detected by another person? Researchers used special techniques to detect signals that were synchronous with the peak of the R-wave of one subject's ECG (electrocardiogram) in recordings of another subject's brain waves. What they found is amazing! The nervous system acts as an antenna, that responds to the magnetic fields produced by the hearts of other individuals, and they call this "energetic communication."
