Those of us researching the field of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have long been fascinated by the idea that the brain is an electromagnetic organ, and therefore should behave in certain ways that would be familiar to the field of study of general electricity and magnetism. The nerve cells within the brain communicate with each other fundamentally with electrons and energy transport, albeit with a chemical foundation instead of direct and fixed conductors, such as cabling or etched metal lines. Therefore it should also be little surprise that new research is finding out that the brain has a magnetic field detection ability as well, since the forces of electricity and magnetism are directly intertwined. The calculation is quite simple: If the brain's very functional existence is based on moving electrons around, those moving electrons will then create magnetic fields, and then if those magnetic fields interact with existing external magnetic fields; voila, i...

I recently finished reading W. Bernard Carlson's book on Nikola Tesla, entitled "Tesla: Inventor of the Electrical Age". This is actually the first book I've read on Nikola Tesla as I got tired of just hearsay and random youtube videos on his life. Mr. Carlson does a great job of getting into the details of Tesla's early life, his middle life, and his demise. The truly interesting part for me was actually his business dealings, and all the various characters that worked with him and surrounded Tesla as he went on innovating during an era of rapid electrification and industrialization of the modern era. The closest analogy I can think of has been the internet age in terms of rapid change and interesting characters. The truth is that electrification of society was so much harder and more complicated, I think its truly hard for the average person today to appreciate how much detailed effort went into innovation in those times, a little over a 100 years ago....
