Abstract

A resonant transduction mechanism is an appealing idea for explaining effects of weak oscillating fields, especially when the same system is unaffected by (larger) static fields. I consider the concept of resonance as a general principle for magnetic field detection in biological systems, with the specific aim of characterizing the experimental signature of a resonant process. It turns out there are but a few experimental signatures of resonant mechanisms, and even the generally expected behavior is not guaranteed to occur at all times. Therefore, it is necessary to observe a combination of such signatures before claiming support for a model based on resonant interaction.
