Up now, the communication between brains of different humans or animals has been confirmed and confined by the sensory medium and motor facilities of body. Recently, direct brain-to-brain communication (DBBC) outside the conventional five senses has been verified between animals and humans. Nevertheless, no empirical studies or serious discussion have been performed to elucidate the mechanism behind this process. The validation of DBBC has been documented via recording similar pattern of action potentials occurring in the brain cortex of two animals. With regard to action potentials in brain neurons, the magnetic field resulting from the action potentials created in neurons is one of the tools where the brain of one animal can affect the brain of another. It has been shown that different animals, even humans, have the power to understand the magnetic field. Cryptochrome, which exists in the retina and in different regions of the brain, has been confirmed to be able to perceive magnetic fields and convert magnetic fields to action potentials. Recently, iron particles (FeO) believed to be functioning as magnets have been found in various parts of the brain, and are postulated as magnetic field receptors. Newly developed supersensitive magnetic sensors made of iron magnets that can sense the brain's magnetic field have suggested the idea that these FeO particles or magnets may be capable of perceiving the brain's extremely weak magnetic field. The present study suggests that it is possible the extremely week magnetic field in one animal's brain to transmit vital and accurate information to another animal's brain.
到目前为止，不同人类或动物大脑之间的交流一直受到身体的感觉媒介和运动设施的限制。最近，在动物和人类之间已经证实了超越传统五种感官的直接脑对脑通信（DBBC）。然而，尚未进行实证研究或深入讨论来阐明这一过程背后的机制。DBBC的验证是通过记录两只动物大脑皮层中出现的类似动作电位模式来记录的。关于大脑神经元中的动作电位，神经元中产生的动作电位所产生的磁场是一种动物的大脑能够影响另一种动物大脑的工具之一。已经表明，不同的动物，甚至人类，都有能力感知磁场。存在于视网膜和大脑不同区域的隐花色素已被证实能够感知磁场并将磁场转化为动作电位。最近，在大脑的各个部位发现了被认为具有磁体功能的铁颗粒（FeO），并被假定为磁场受体。新开发的由铁磁体制成的超灵敏磁传感器能够感知大脑的磁场，这表明这些FeO颗粒或磁体可能能够感知大脑极其微弱的磁场。本研究表明，一只动物大脑中极其微弱的磁场有可能将重要而准确的信息传递给另一只动物的大脑。
