Fifty men and women were exposed to only one of four experimentally generated magnetic fields over the left prefrontal region (above the eyebrow) or to a sham field immediately after the words “true” or “false” were presented following statements of definitions of words for a “foreign language”. Three of the patterns (25 Hz, 50 Hz, or burst-firing) with intensities between 1 and 10 microT were presented for 1 s during the refutation process (immediately after the offset of “true” or “false”) for specific statements from a total of 28 statements. The fourth pattern was a variable approximately 7–10 Hz (10 nT) field generated from the circuitry that was present continuously during the entire experiment. When the statements were presented again, the groups who had received the burst-firing (“limbic”) or 25 Hz pulsed magnetic fields during the refutation process accepted about twice the number of false statements as true compared to those exposed to the 50 Hz field or sham-field conditions. The treatments did not significantly affect the numbers of true statements accepted as false. These results suggest that the appropriately pulsed magnetic field during the refutation process of what one has been told or has heard can increase the probability a person will accept a false statement as true.

施加在左额叶上的生理模式弱磁场增加了对错误陈述的接受度

五十名男性和女性在左前额叶区域（眉毛上方）上仅暴露于四个实验产生的磁场中的一个，或在出现“真”或“假”字样后立即暴露于假磁场中一门外语”。强度在 1 到 10 microT 之间的三种模式（25 Hz、50 Hz 或突发发射）在反驳过程中（紧接在“真”或“假”偏移之后）呈现了 1 秒，用于特定陈述共有 28 条语句。第四种模式是由电路产生的大约 7–10 Hz (10 nT) 的可变场，在整个实验过程中持续存在。当再次发表声明时，与暴露在 50 Hz 场或假场条件下的组相比，在驳斥过程中接受突发发射（“边缘”）或 25 Hz 脉冲磁场的组接受的虚假陈述数量大约是真实陈述的两倍。处理没有显着影响被接受为错误的真实陈述的数量。这些结果表明，在驳斥被告知或听到的内容的过程中，适当的脉冲磁场可以增加一个人将错误陈述视为真实的可能性。
