Evidence of humanity's lost 'sixth sense' may have been found

A US scientist has claimed to have found evidence of a ''sixth sense'' in humans that can detect the Earth's magnetic fields.
Joe Kirschvink, from the California Institute of Technology, says his experiment can also be ''repeated and verified'', something research on magnetoreception has never been able to do before.
The trial, which involved just 24 people and has not yet been peer reviewed, builds on a 2016 study that suggested other mammals, including dogs, foxes and primates have ''magnetic sensors''in their eyes.

Using a Faraday cage and a EEG monitor, Kirschvink observed reproducible changes in human alpha brain waves when adjustments were made to the magnetic field around them.
