Are you feeling strange lately and cannot explain why? Maybe you have an electromagnetic sensitivity from all the electronic devices surrounding you. At least, this is what some people claim.
Yes, we are surrounded by technology. Smartphones, computers, and other wireless devices provide a window and a voice to the outside world, this is true. But for some of us, we are surrounded by living hell, as our sensitivities cause us to want to throw those devices out of a “literal” window. And why is this?
The controversy of an electromagnetic sensitivity
EHS or electromagnetic sensitivity is the ability to sense energy fields, and the ability to be overwhelmed by them. When I say overwhelmed, I don’t necessarily mean stressed, oh no, I mean literally sick and physically ill by the energy that surrounds us.
Now, there are opposing opinions about this condition. Some say it’s fictional and the wide range of symptoms experienced are too random and mostly psychological instead of physiological. Opinions also state that these symptoms can simply be caused by something else entirely – it could be some disease or illness with similar symptoms.
George Johnson, column writer for the New York Times said,
“From the perspective of science, the likelihood of the rays somehow causing harm is about as strong as the evidence for ESP.”
This allows us to examine another area of electromagnetic sensitivity, the paranormal side. After all, many of us do believe in the paranormal, ESP, visions, etc.
Ghosts, spirits and other sentient beings
Some people argue that Albert Einstein believed, in a way, in the existence of ghosts. At least, a statement he made hints at this belief.
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
It seems that energy never dies, and so some people choose to interpret this Einstein’s quote as a hint at the existence of ghosts. A popular belief is that spirits are made of energy and thus can manipulate their substance along with the earth’s electrical field and manmade electrical fields.
So, this leaves us with a really important question: Are we detecting the energy utilized by these spirits, or does the sensitivity of man-made electrical fields make us hallucinate, making us think we’ve seen ghosts and phantoms when everything is all in our heads?
However, there are those who testify to having experienced electromagnetic sensitivity, both due to ghost sighting and also just due to overexposure to technological devices and the radiation they exude. These individuals take extreme precautions to shield themselves from these rays, even lining the walls with aluminum foil.
The signs below show what the people who think they have an electromagnetic sensitivity claim to experience.
1. Muscle aches and pains
Some people claim that muscle aches could be signs of electromagnetic sensitivities. The way you will know is that these pains come and go, randomly. You could wake one morning and feel as if you ran five miles the day before, even when you never left the house.
You could wake to feel tired and then notice a horrid pain in your lower back or in your shoulder areas as well. These pains are not usually severe and that’s why they can be so hard to diagnose.
2. Depression
Depression is a symptom of mental illness, but according to some, it can also be caused by the absorption of a high level of magnetic energies. When you do experience this depressive mood, it will also come with foggy thinking, temporary memory loss, and confusion. Pay attention to what’s going on in your life and whether or not you have another reason to be suffering from this ailment.
3. Sleep disturbances
Suffering from insomnia could be due to this sensitivity as well. Many times, we blame other aspects of life for our sleepless nights and even take sleeping aids to get rest. Try leaving electronics in another room and see if that helps at all. As you know, many people sleep with their smartphones and the sheer amount of energy radiating from these devices is insane!
Also, psychics claim that if spirits are present in the home, the prime time for manifestation is around 3 a.m. which will definitely keep you awake at night with a huge increase in magnetic field energy.
4. Stress and anxiety
Electromagnetic sensitivity is also said to cause heightened anxiety and stress in otherwise calm personalities. You may feel anxious for no apparent reason at all, much like those who suffer from PTSD.
Personally, I have experienced anxieties which made no sense, but I cannot say whether it was from these energy fields or because of something else entirely. Make sure to pay attention to any sudden changes in stress levels. It could possibly be what’s happening to you.
5. Rashes and prickly sensations on the skin
Mysterious rashes or skin irritations could mean the presence of an abundance of man-made or paranormal energies, some people claim. If you have no known allergies and start to experience a rash, then monitor your surroundings.
Is there a large concentration of electronic devices around you? Are you in an area with a rumored high prevalence of paranormal activity?Either of these situations could be a cause, or it could simply be the detergent you use when washing your clothes! I know, I know…but there are many reasons for this irritation.
6. A headache and fatigue
Experiencing headaches and fatigue can mean many things, like stress, for instance. Having a headache every day is probably an indication of something worse, like an effect of high energy level absorption.
Electromagnetic sensitivity is also believed to cause extreme fatigue as well. Keep these things in mind when you are forced to take pain relievers and vitamins on a regular basis.
Symptoms of electromagnetic sensitivity remain controversial
These symptoms listed above are only a small sample of what people seem to experience. Individuals also report infertility, various cancers, and symptoms of the eyes, nose, and throat. It’s important to become educated about this topic and visit your doctor regularly to rule out the possibility of other things.
Have you noticed that all the described symptoms are quite general and could be associated with a number of conditions? It could very well be that people who believe to suffer from electromagnetic sensitivity have a mental disorder or other health condition.
In any case, those who believe this is happening usually end up considering a more natural way of life, eliminating as many sources of electromagnetic energy as possible.
Can you give up your smartphone or the internet? Can you make the changes necessary to lower your levels of energy? What do you need to do in order to address this concern, and do you even believe this is a real condition?
There are many opinions and options, you must choose what’s best for you. Good luck!

There was something CNN about this in a show with their resident physician; so, it seems very possible. There are some people in this show they profiled who had to move to a place, I think, in the western part of the United States where there was very little electric or electromagnetic energy wires and such. They also had to limit their on-line computer time. So, it seems entirely possible and may explain some peoples’ mysterious symptom that their doctors could find no alleged illness as a determiner of these symptoms. There is much to be learned about living with technology these days. Thank you.

Thank you for reading, Beth. I couldn’t imagine having to deal with this myself, considering a huge portion of my life revolves around electronic devices.
Don 24 Oct 2017 Reply
There are scientists in the field who claim in different ways that we are electromagnetic beings. Since it is one of the four forces of nature, it is literally everywhere. No doubt that electronic devices have an effect, but you bring up the main problem which is who is going to lay them down and walk away? And doctors would be almost useless in determining gadget causing problems. As to your question, I do believe it could be a real condition with some people due to research, but diagnosing it would be a monster at present.
Sherrie 26 Oct 2017 Reply
Well Don, as with most things in life, we have to choose individually. Even if a doctor had the gift of quick determination on which devices were dangerous, we would still doubt. It reminds me of those who have substance abuse problems or relationship problems, they have to want to change things in their own time to successfully make that difference needed. As with devices, you have to first, pay attention to any changes occurring in your body and mind, remove something, and then keep paying attention. It’s almost like troubleshooting problems with your car, your diet, or anything else, for that matter. It is a monster, and we all are so different, which turns me right back around to what I just said…
Self-examination, trial, and discovery. It’s kind of like my food allergies….*get sick, what did I drink? Oh, let me try that again tomorrow. Get sick, oh okay, I guess it’s the milk! There we have it! Lactose intolerance!*
I know, I know…but get my point?

Hi, this is a real condition and a real and present danger to all life on earth, as levels are amped up and now 5G is being rolled out. I became sensitive to wireless after exposure to something called a “smart meter”, a device used to send readings to the utility company. The pulsed frequency interrupted my own bio energy fields, and made me so sick, I nearly died. It has taken 7 years to heal, but I am permanently sensitive to wireless, especially smart technology which is now everywhere. This has altered the course of my life, and at 53, when I was first made sick by this, I had three kids, one in college, two more behind him. This was so debilitating and made me so sick, it was a nightmare; suicidal thoughts plagued my brain, as I could not imagine how I would be able to navigate my world. As it turns out, and I have learned, millions around the globe suffer with this disorder: Electro sensitivity and no western doctor can help. This is a multi-pronged, approach to healing, but mostly eastern medicine and therapies and detoxing. The body is thrown out of balance by the forcing of these microwaves into our bodies and brains, and as such, we have a threshold which we will meet and go over. The increase in depression and suicide is linked to this as well as allergies and autism. I have studied this and speak out, now, for over 7 years. I am better, but will never be completely cured. It has taken me out of the job force for obvious reasons and I am basically leading the life of a shut in with random experiences outside the home. I stay mostly in nature, at the beach and in my “safe home” with NO wireless, routers, or other devices. I know, as a “canary” what we are up against and we will see an uptick in this disorder and a massive increase in cancers and suicides. It is what you all want, more devices, less health. I have never been comfortable with wireless, intuitively, I knew it was bad. I have never and will never own or use a cellphone. Only wired devices and landline. All should be aware of the coming nightmare that wireless is, as far as our health and wellness, mental acuity, clarity and responsiveness. This is a tragedy on all fronts, the sooner people wake up to the death tolls from radiation sickness, the better. It is kept off mainstream TV and must be researched. I wish this was not true. But I am afraid, mankind is being used in a giant experiment and not all will survive, which just might be the goal. Time to wake up! I did.

Hi Sherrie,
Very good article and I would want to know what can be done to avoid such things permanently e;g, waking up all night and sleep around 4:00 am . Please advise.

Shweta,
As I told Don, let’s try self-examination and troubleshooting. Stay away from a certain device for a while and see if you feel any better. We first have to figure out what’s hurting us before we can battle that thing, or run from that thing. Find out what’s making you sick and then get rid of it, find another solution for your needs for that device. Yes, I am sure it will be more than difficult, but it’s a start toward the right direction.

Waking up at the same hour or thereabouts on a regular basis is just your body’s clock, something of a habit, totally natural.

What about a runny nose that will not stop, even with the strongest of antihistamines, and seems to occur mostly in my residence?
Sherrie 13 Sep 2018 Reply
This could be a symptom, but it could also be a symptom of so many other things as well, like allergies. You have to do a process of elimination first and then you can tell if your sinus issues may be coming from this sensitivity.

I feel as if I am dying from this, nobody can diagnose me as the illness “doesn’t exist” I literaly feel as if I am slowly dying no one belives me and doctors family etc think I am crazy, gone mad. I can’t get away from it! We are living in hell on earth
Susan Burke 15 Feb 2020 Reply
This is a diabolical agenda. The Russians studied radiation sickness a long time ago. It seems this is being used deliberately to cull the population, many are sick and dying. I am on a day to day therapeutic regimen, trying to stay in balance is no easy task as we bathe, daily, in EMF’s. The FCC is being sued for the insane rollout of 5G, we shall see where that goes. Protocols for healing are vast, it starts with detoxing the body from heavy metals, again, an arduous task. Using energy work, like Reiki helps to remove the loaded up trauma and stress, which is necessary for anyone suffering long term chronic illness, as most of our debilitating symptoms come from emotional stress. Then add all the EMF’s and we are setting ourselves up for disaster. NO western doctor, or very few can help or will admit this is a problem. They are all “gagged”, as are our politicians. We are in the fight of our lives now and all must join groups and activists in their communities to fight against this at the local level. Voices must be heart, and scare tactics, such as “liability” should be used when confronting our leaders. Hold them accountable and p ersonally liable, they don’t like that. For me, cranial sacral therapy worked wonders, but I bought a “stillpoint inducer” for twenty bucks from Amazon, to use at home, cheaper and more convenient. Salt and baking soda baths help alkalyze the emfs in the body, and iodine is needed to combat radiation. I take it daily. Use of organic essential oils to raise the vibration in our own bodies and supplementation with C good C is crucial. I take organic CBD daily, this really helps me. But first ALL wireless must go. You must turn off cell phones, get rid of CFL bulbs and stop charging phones, in the home, especially at night. GEt a hardwired landline and hard wired computers. I invested in a neuroplasticity program last year and found amazing benefits, it helped me to get out of the “Loop” our limbic system get stuck in, and rewiring to get OUT of this loop is incredibly helpful. I have coping skills and mechanisms to retrain and refocus. When we get sick with this diabolical radiation sickness, we tend to focus all of our energy on it, which reinforces the cycle and keeps us stuck. This is an all out battle, we are facing dire times and 5G is a dead end. We must all fight this now.

Thank you so much for this great reply!
I have been in the detoxing process for 5 years, I need to remove my algam fillings, I use essential oils and some emf protection stones are in the post. I dont have a bath but will try and get one. I will look into sacral therapy and other things you suggested. I feel better already knowing people are suffering but managing this disease. Thanks again 🙂

Facts your body is made up of energy. Facts your brain uses electrical impulses to communicate with your body. Facts just like the earth your body resonates and vibrates at a particular hz low like 7 or 14 something around there. Facts electromagnetic waves and radio waves are toxic and not only that the disrupt the natural vibrations of the earth and your body. How? Science says when everything resonates and has vibration at a certain hz. And if it were to come into contact say a radio wave, sound wave of the same hz it would become destructive on is self. Facts scientists have been mapping the human body and brain down to which hz affect what, say moods, feelings, manipulations. Ex:, low frequency at 40hz will begin to disrupt your bowls, at a high enough db and amplitude you bowls will turn to mush instantly from the vibration of its own frequency. Facts they can now control the human brain. Facts some people can hear radio waves and signals 1. Because of the shape of their head and how the bones in your ears and the shape off your mellon process it. Also facts the Who has also recognized electromagnetic radiation as toxic to the body and has set guidelines for exposure at parts per meter. Also facts that these people know its toxic and their money making is more important then you living. I been plagued for the last 9 months with a blasting signal repeating the same pattern of tones, very specific tones that go up the sound scale then back down and repeat over and over and over and over all day with perfect timing at the exact sometimes of the day it amplifies. It gets so bad thats all you can here. It makes me so sick and pains so bad in my abdomen it feels like getting sliced open with a hot knife. Only when the noise is bad. But it never goes away. Doc says im healthy and hear just fine. My home has been inspected and signed off on. Im also no dummy and know a thing or two and have 9 months of spectrum analysis data , frequency meter data, audio data and then some that clearly beyond a doubt shows hi db low frequency especially peaks at 59/60 hz and every 60/120 after at 50db at a peak. That ridiculous. O have complained to the fcc 5 times, wrote letters to congress and they ignore it. Funny how my mom hears the something when shes over. And my dog gets sick when i do. Im getting ready to sue the fcc and the state because the data dont lie. And i got 9 months of it backed by ieee engenders. Electromagnetic waves do are toxic to everything. You need to do some research on the Shauman resonance and the shauman scale. I feel that my help you on your journey.

Okay guys, here is all I’ve done so far: I take vitamin C as much as possible. I am not sure how to hardwire computers, but getting another landline phone is pretty simple. As I work online daily, It’s difficult to get away from the computer. So, as much as possible, I paint. It seems like you guys are so far ahead of me with so many things, and yes, I feel fatigued every day. There’s one thing that K. said that caught my attention.
I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and when it started, it was just out of nowhere. My bowels just started to act differently after being normal for half my life. Yes, it’s probably from my diet over the years and pills, but this point you made also caught my attention. Another strange thing I’ve noticed is hearing high-pitched sounds. I used to make jokes about dog whistles, and I told people that I must be a dog because I’m hearing high-pitched sounds. What do you make of these things?

It comprises nervous system symptoms like headache, fatigue, stress, sleep disturbances, skin symptoms like prickling, burning sensations and rashes, pain and ache in muscles and many other health problems.
Can electromagnetic hypersensitivity be cured? ›While you may have Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, you don't have to suffer, treatment is possible.
Is Chuck's condition a real thing? ›It's clear in the show that the symptoms are real and debilitating — but it's also clear that they're mostly in Chuck's head. EHS, the show implies, is simply a manifestation of Chuck's mental illness. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.
How does EMF affect the brain? ›It was reported that EMF exposure was associated with neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease that is increasing the level of amyloid beta, a risk factor, in the brain. Long-term EMF exposure may result in Alzheimer disease like symptoms due to enhancing oxidative stress (Jiang et al., 2013).
How many people have EHS? ›A survey of occupational medical centres estimated the prevalence of EHS to be a few individuals per million in the population. However, a survey of self-help groups yielded much higher estimates. Approximately 10% of reported cases of EHS were considered severe.
Can a person be sensitive to electricity? ›Hypersensitivity or electrical sensitivity (or electrical hypersensitivity - EHS) is a condition reported by some people where they are extremely sensitive to electric or magnetic fields, reacting to even quite low levels in various ways such as headaches and stress, ranging up to nausea, skin rashes, and even bleeding ...
Can EMF affect sleep? ›EMFs have an effect on raised blood pressure, pulse rate and affecting other dynamics of cardiovascular function [6,7]. Recently, several studies reported that extremely low-frequency magnetic field exposure might disrupt normal sleep [2].
Can you feel electromagnetic fields? ›Now, research suggests that some people do indeed perceive magnetic fields, albeit unconsciously. In response to a changing magnetic field, so-called alpha brainwaves, the background “hum” of the brain, quieted in human volunteers, scientists reported yesterday (March 18) in eNeuro.
Are humans affected by magnetic fields? ›
The Earth's magnetic field does not directly affect human health. Humans evolved to live on this planet. High altitude pilots and astronauts can experience higher levels of radiation during magnetic storms, but the hazard is due to the radiation, not the magnetic field itself.
How does EMF affect the human body? ›Fatigue, headache, decreased learning ability, and cognitive impairment are among the symptoms caused by EMF. The human body should therefore be protected against exposure to EMF because of the risks this can entail.
Is electromagnetic sensitivity a disability? ›Where chemical or electromagnetic sensitivities are concerned, the Access Board has recognized they might be considered forms of disabilities under the ADA if they so severely impair a person's respiratory, neurological, or other functions that it substantially limits one or more of their major life activities.
What is the treatment for EHS? ›However, the best evidence currently available suggests that cognitive behavioural therapy is effective for patients who report being hypersensitive to weak EMFs.
Can you be sensitive to WiFi? ›It's one of the first times a court of law has recognized EHS, or “electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome” — which is incredible, given that actual, hard evidence linking adverse health affects and WiFi signals is pretty negligible.
Is Chuck Jimmy's dad? ›Chuck was born in Cicero, Illinois, United States and is the eldest son of Ruth and Charles McGill Sr. He is the older brother of fellow lawyer and titular character Jimmy McGill ("Saul Goodman").
Can EMF make you sick? ›Despite extensive research, to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health.
Does Jimmy McGill have a mental illness? ›Antisocial personality disorder
Just as we start to make up our minds about Jimmy, a new side of him is revealed that's incompatible with that judgment. The early part of the series tells the story of Jimmy becoming a lawyer after years of pulling small-time cons as “Slippin' Jimmy.”
Brain energy is associated commonly with electrochemical type of energy. This energy is displayed in the form of electromagnetic waves or better known as brainwaves.
Can electromagnetic waves affect emotions? ›There have been studies that indicate that EM waves applied to the brain can relieve depression, but not all of the effects of EM waves on the nervous system can be positive. Extremely intense EM waves can potentially kill someone--definitely an effect on emotions.
What frequencies can affect the brain? ›
6 Hz beat enhances all area of the brain within 10 minutes. 8 Hz and 25 Hz beats have no clearly responses while 40 Hz beat enhances the responses in frontal lobe. These brain responses can be used for brain modulation application to induce the brain activity in further studies.
Can WiFi cause tinnitus? ›In the modern world we are bombarded with electromagnetic radiation. For most of us, this may not be a problem. But for people who are sensitive to electromagnetic fields (EMF), the effects can include hypersensitivity, tinnitus, and other serious symptoms.
Can you feel radio waves? ›Infrared light and radio waves
We can feel the heat of infrared light because its energy is absorbed mostly by the skin. On the other hand, we cannot feel radio waves because these emit their energy deeper in the body, under the heat-sensitive cells of the skin.
Studies have indicated that EMFs produced at cell-phone frequencies cause no-effect on the heart. Differences between results of studies may be due to a compensatory response developed by the body over time.
Is hypersensitivity a disability? ›Although high sensitivity is not defined as a disability, in much of our fast-paced, always-on culture, it can be disabling. If their environment is not adapted to their differently wired brains, highly sensitive people are at risk of developing mental and physical health problems.
How do you prevent EMF? ›Turn off the router at night. Many routers have built-in settings that can be programmed to have the Wi-Fi to shut off at a desired time, and turn on at a desired time. Avoid use of unnecessary Bluetooth devices such as a wireless keyboard, mouse, microphones and speakers. Obtain wired versions instead.
What is Electrosensitivity? ›What is Electrosensitivity? Also known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EMHS) or microwave sickness, those experiencing this condition attribute their ailments to electromagnetic frequency (EMF, or electromagnetic field) exposure, which can affect sensitive people physically, emotionally, and neurologically.
Is it safe to sleep next to a TV? ›Many people find that sleeping with the TV on helps them sleep. However, experts generally agree that this isn't a good idea. Sleeping with the TV on increases your exposure to blue light, which can increase your risk for obesity, diabetes, and other health problems.
Can a mattress absorb radiation? ›If you have any metal on your mattress or base (e.g. the coils in a box spring mattress), the metal can act as an antenna that amplifies FM or TV radiation of certain frequencies. The weak electromagnetic waves captured are then amplified by metal objects such as springs.
Does EMF keep you awake? ›It is believed that your pineal gland interprets EMF as light, even when considered low-frequency. Because it sees it as light, it inhibits melatonin production, making you feel awake. Simply put, it has the same effect as looking at blue light before bed.
Can magnetic fields affect the brain? ›
Static magnetic fields have been shown to induce effects on the human brain. Different experiments seem to support the idea that moderate static magnetic field can exert some influence on the gating processes of the membrane channels.
Does the brain have a magnetic field? ›The comparison revealed that the human brain had a detectable magnetism after a magnetic field had been applied to the samples. The results showed that magnetite was in “almost every piece” of the specimens, said Gilder.
Is the brain magnetic? ›It may be surprising to many, but your brain is full of magnetic minerals. That's right: Buried in your brain right now are clumps of magnetite, a mineral composed of iron oxide that is naturally magnetic.

You should feel safe using your cell phone and appliances. Power lines are also considered safe, as long as you keep a safe distance from them.
What magnetic attraction feels like? ›Magnetic attraction is the feeling that two people have towards each other. It happens when people feel a strong physical attraction or emotional connection with someone else. Magnetic attraction is different from normal, everyday feelings of attraction because it can be stronger and last a lot longer.

Can high EMF cause anxiety? ›EMF exposure can cause neurobehavioral disorders, including circadian imbalance, headache, fatigue, depression and anxiety.
What is EMF in simple words? ›Electromotive force is defined as the electric potential produced by either electrochemical cell or by changing the magnetic field. EMF is the commonly used acronym for electromotive force. A generator or a battery is used for the conversion of energy from one form to another.
What things give off EMF? ›Sources of ELF-EMFs include power lines, electrical wiring, and electrical appliances such as shavers, hair dryers, and electric blankets. Radiofrequency radiation.
How much EMF is safe? ›Magnetic fields for occupational exposures should be limited to less than 0.5 mT (5 gauss or 5,000 mG).
What causes electromagnetic radiation? ›
Electromagnetic radiation is produced whenever a charged particle, such as an electron, changes its velocity—i.e., whenever it is accelerated or decelerated. The energy of the electromagnetic radiation thus produced comes from the charged particle and is therefore lost by it.
What is wrong with Chuck from Better call Saul? ›Chuck McGill supposedly suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS). EHS sufferers claim to be sensitive to electromagnetic fields, which explains Chuck's adverse reaction in the presence of electronics.
Can WIFI cause headaches? ›Based on our result, we found significant correlation among mobile phone and Wi-Fi usage with more frequency and severity of migraine headaches.

Does magnetic field affect your brain? ›Static magnetic fields have been shown to induce effects on the human brain. Different experiments seem to support the idea that moderate static magnetic field can exert some influence on the gating processes of the membrane channels.
How do magnets affect the human brain? ›So, applying a magnetic field will cause current to flow through the neurons and this can alter their activity. To alter the activity of neurons, the electric field must be strong enough to generate an electrical current in the neurons as well as in the synapses in between them [1].
Does your brain have a magnetic field? ›The comparison revealed that the human brain had a detectable magnetism after a magnetic field had been applied to the samples. The results showed that magnetite was in “almost every piece” of the specimens, said Gilder.
Are humans electromagnetic? ›
Yes, humans give off radiation. Humans give off mostly infrared radiation, which is electromagnetic radiation with a frequency lower than visible light.
Are humans naturally magnetic? ›Today, two hundred years later, we know that the human body is indeed magnetic in the sense that the body is a source of magnetic fields, but this body magnetism is very different from that imagined by Mesmer.
Where is the magnetic field in the human body? ›Heart: The heart produces the greatest rhythmic electromagnetic field in all of the body's organs, making it the most strong source of electromagnetic energy in the human body. The electrical activity produced by the heart has a 60-fold greater magnitude than the electrical activity generated by the brain.
