Abstract

The literature relevant to the biological effects of applied magnetic fields has been reviewed. Reported effects vary with the type of field applied and the duration of application. The production of magneto phosphenes by the application of alternating fields (of certain frequencies) is a well accepted phenomenon. The major question, at this time, seems to be the mode of action responsible. Medium to high strength, non-uniform, steady-state fields have well documented effects upon rapidly growing tissues. Steady-state fields with strengths approximating the natural geomagnetic field are reported to produce alterations in the pattern of biological cycles.
