Human heart rhythm sensitivity to earth local magnetic field fluctuations
Open accessAbstract
The sensitivity of human hearth’s rhythm to the fluctuations of Earth’s local magnetic field is analyzed in this paper. Data collected during the long-term project of heart-rate variability (HRV) data from 17 female volunteers were used to correlate to measured fluctuations of Earth magnetic signals. Magnetic signals are collected utilizing the first global network of GPS time stamped detectors designed to continuously measure magnetic signals that occur in the same range as human physiological frequencies such as the brain and cardiovascular systems.

Laboratory and population studies suggest that human rhythms may synchronize globally through geomagnetic coupling, indicating a potential mechanism for collective physiological coherence.
“while laboratory and population studies suggest that human rhythms may synchronize globally through geomagnetic coupling, indicating a potential mechanism for collective physiological coherence [21,61,62].”
From The Heart’s Electromagnetic Field in Emotions, Empathy and Human Connection: Biosensor-Derived Insights into Heart–Brain Axis Mechanisms and a Basis for Novel BioMagnetoTherapies (2026) · cites this paper as [61]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says physiological rhythms and global collective behaviors can synchronize with solar and geomagnetic activity, and proposes coupling to geomagnetic frequencies as a mechanism. It does not identify the supporting studies as laboratory and population studies or establish global synchronization of human physiological rhythms; its own measurements concern local magnetic-field fluctuations and 17 volunteers. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAt present, evidence linking cardiac electromagnetic activity to autonomic regulation, emotional states, and geomagnetic variability remains largely observational and does not establish causality.
“At present, evidence linking cardiac electromagnetic activity to autonomic regulation, emotional states, and geomagnetic variability remains largely observational and does not establish causality [20,21,61,62].”
From The Heart’s Electromagnetic Field in Emotions, Empathy and Human Connection: Biosensor-Derived Insights into Heart–Brain Axis Mechanisms and a Basis for Novel BioMagnetoTherapies (2026) · cites this paper as [61]
The Introduction reports associations between geomagnetic activity and heart rate or heart-rate variability, while saying the effects are not fully understood. The Conclusions say the mechanism linking heart rhythms and geomagnetic frequencies remains to be established. The paper does not directly examine emotional states or establish the broader claim about cardiac electromagnetic activity and autonomic regulation. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredGeomagnetic disturbances are associated with reduced HRV, infarction, arrhythmias and sudden death, whereas increased Schumann resonance power and favorable solar indices correlate with improved autonomic balance and emotional states.
“Geomagnetic disturbances are associated with reduced HRV, infarction, arrhythmias and sudden death, whereas increased Schumann resonance power and favorable solar indices correlate with improved autonomic balance and emotional states [21,61,62,83,84,85,86].”
From The Heart’s Electromagnetic Field in Emotions, Empathy and Human Connection: Biosensor-Derived Insights into Heart–Brain Axis Mechanisms and a Basis for Novel BioMagnetoTherapies (2026) · cites this paper as [61]
The Introduction (page unavailable) reports associations between magnetic storms and reduced HRV, myocardial infarction, and increased arrhythmic events; the References list also includes a study of sudden cardiac deaths and geomagnetic activity. But the paper does not report that increased Schumann resonance power or favorable solar indices correlate with improved autonomic balance or emotional states. Its discussion of Schumann resonances proposes a possible mechanism, not those beneficial correlations. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredHRV demonstrates sensitivity to solar wind, Schumann power, and geomagnetic disturbances with effects on autonomic balance, blood pressure, and arrhythmia risk.
“HRV demonstrates sensitivity to solar wind, Schumann power, and geomagnetic disturbances with effects on autonomic balance, blood pressure, and arrhythmia risk [21,61,62,83,84,85,86].”
From The Heart’s Electromagnetic Field in Emotions, Empathy and Human Connection: Biosensor-Derived Insights into Heart–Brain Axis Mechanisms and a Basis for Novel BioMagnetoTherapies (2026) · cites this paper as [61]
The Introduction (page unavailable) reports associations between geomagnetic disturbances and reduced HRV, and discusses blood pressure, autonomic-system frequencies, and increased arrhythmic events during magnetic storms. It proposes a role for Schumann resonances but does not establish HRV sensitivity to Schumann power or solar wind specifically; the cardiovascular effects are discussed largely as reported associations or proposed mechanisms. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredEarth's magnetic oscillations, including Schumann and field-line resonances, overlap with cardiovascular and brain rhythms.
“The Earth’s magnetic oscillations, including Schumann and field-line resonances, overlap with cardiovascular and brain rhythms [21,23,61,62,83].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
