The Weather Matrix and Human Behavior by Michael A. Persinger

As with the mice research, the fields were spatially and temporally patterned and focused on the temporoparietal lobes, a brain area associated with mood. In other research, Persinger exposed young adults to weak configurations of magnetic fields or sham fields where no actual magnetic field is produced. Compared to the mice that received the sham treatment (where no actual magnetic field was applied) the experimental mice showed no evidence of tumour growth after 38 days, whereas the control mice evinced large tumours. One study investigated the effect of exposure to a specific electromagnetic field (patterned both spatially and temporally) on mice injected with melanoma. Magnetic FieldsĪ major element of Persinger’s research involved the influence of magnetic fields on living processes. In addition to his mainstream scientific activity, he engaged in less conventional work in parapsychology. Persinger published hundreds of peer-reviewed papers and was a regular contributor to national and international television and radio programs, speaking on topics such as unusual experiences, climate change and religious experiences. A few years later he founded the Behavioural Neuroscience program at Laurentian University, an interdisciplinary unit involving experts in psychology, chemistry and biology. In 1975, he was promoted to associate professor, becoming full professor in 1980. Persinger began his academic career at Laurentian University in 1971, starting as an assistant psychology professor. He received his MA in Physiological Psychology from the University of Tennessee in 1969, and his PhD from the University of Manitoba in 1971. Michael Persinger graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1967. Geomagnetic Correlations (Experimental).Geomagnetic Correlations (Experiential).
